It is 1977 at Harvard University.

A pioneering study is being conducted and the final results are in.

Nobody knows it yet, but they will forever change the way we think about human behavior.

@Kevin_Indig Awesome Kevin! Looking forward to this. I know what I'll be doing this weekend..

[Andrei Iocin @andreiongrowth]

@calvin_rosser Couldn't agree more.

[Andrei Iocin @andreiongrowth]

@jmoserr Good point. I do see one reason to do it though—scale and not selling hours for money.

[Andrei Iocin @andreiongrowth]

@jmoserr Love the long term mindset.

[Andrei Iocin @andreiongrowth]

@mennenia Getting into the habit of doing it consistently is the most difficult part. Once you have that nailed in, you can focus on other things.

X is a good medium to test things I'd say.

@AlxAndrws @blinkist Me too! If the book hooks me in the first chapter, it usually piques my curiosity for the rest.

I bought a @blinkist subscription which I never used.

Until I realized...

The true cost of any book is not the sale price, but the hours you invest into reading it. 📚⏳

So I started using Blinkist as a filter, for any new book I'm considering.

That 20-minute time investment can save me 10+ hours of reading or listening.

If you do your listening at the gym, 2 times a week, for 2 hours, that's 3 weeks of time to listen to an 11-hour book.

So next time you're interested in a new book, consider listening to a 20-minute Blink first, to see if it is really worth your time.

If not, move on to something that peaks and keeps your curiosity for those 3 weeks.

PS: Blinkist usually has an 80% discount around Black Friday—that's how they locked me into a yearly subscription.

@jm_crowd Love the 1st one. To be able to sell a product you really need to believe in it yourself first.

[Andrei Iocin @andreiongrowth]

@Kevin_Indig Looking forward to this..

[Andrei Iocin @andreiongrowth]

Yes! After 3 years from working from home on my own I needed a change of scenery and a team of people around me. That's why I made the switch to working for a brand instead, and I love it.

Would still be interested in meeting others in the same situation to relate to and to have a community of like-minded people.

[Andrei Iocin @andreiongrowth]

@jm_crowd @blinkist My thoughts exactly @jm_crowd! All that time you're not reading something that could be much better.

I spend thousands of $$$ every year on courses, books, and everything in between to expand my knowledge.

The more people find it valuable, the more it motivates me to carve time out and share ideas like this.

I spent $150 on a design book.

Here are 5 simple yet counter-intuitive design tactics you can apply today with no design talent.
