Two apps to maximize your time when you learn new topics & read books

Today’s tips are on how to maximize your free time to learn valuable tips, tricks, and tactics.

With these two apps, you will be able to get just the important takeaways in nonfiction books or learn business, and digital marketing skills in just 5 minutes.


#1 Blinkist

Blinkist gives you the ability to read or listen to a book in about 15 minutes! What they do is pull out a book’s key takeaways or messages into short one page reads that they call Blinks. I’m all for reading a book cover to cover, but generally, with business books all you really need are the cliff notes to really get what the book was about.

My favorite thing about Blinkist is that the majority of the books in their library also have a recorded audio version, so you can just pop the book on while eating breakfast and by the time you’re done with your meal, you will have read a book! Great start to the day 🙂

They have both a yearly and monthly subscription, and a free trial to test it out. I just renewed my subscription starting my third year of using Blinkist.
