CUT TO THE CHASE
What’s on my mind?

We are all looking to save time these days (or so it seems).

Our attention spans aren’t what they used to be.

We want everything faster.

Faster learning, faster reading, faster writing.

In this issue, we share thoughts on how to quickly get the takeaways from a book without having to read the whole thing.

Find yourself getting distracted while trying to read or listen to book?

We have a solution for that as well!

Blinkist

Need the key takeaways from a book without having to read it? … the TLDR for books - introducing Blinkist!

Want the core insights of a book over a morning coffee?

Blinkist cuts to the chase by distilling non-fiction books into bite-sized summaries, which they call "blinks."

These blinks give you the main ideas of a full-length book in just about 15 minutes. It's designed for the curious souls who have towering reading lists but can't seem to find the time to tackle them. With a library spanning thousands of books across numerous categories—ranging from personal development to science, and business to mindfulness—Blinkist serves up big ideas in small packages.

Personal Plans:

Starting at $89 per user per year for corporate plans and $99 per user per year for personal. Alternatively you can go with a monthly plan for $15.99.

Apple’s AirPods Max

The Headphones that drown out the noise - literally!

Released in December 2020 and out for 3 years now … many people have not heard of them yet and even those that have heard about them … have not tried them.

(Word on the street is the next version comes out either the end of this year or next year.)

Now I am by mean means an audiophile (sound enthusiast) or expert in the field, however I can appreciate the engineering feat that Apple accomplished here. I have tried out many headphones over the years and few have left me starstruck like these.

When the active sound cancelling button is turned on … the silence is incredible!

On a train commuting? You’ll forget you have these on!

Travelling on a plane? No background noise!

And the audio from your music or video is next level.

It’s worth the visit to a store to try them on. I guarantee you’ll be impressed!

They come with 6 months of Apple Music free and are available in 5 colours with engraving options for your name (or the name of the person your gifting them to).

Tired of charging every few hours?

These boast an impressive 20 hours of listening on a single charge!
