This month I’ve done you a favour. Having discovered that 82% of you work over 35 hours per week, I was motivated to find time you didn’t think you had. More about that in a minute…

Everyone Should Get A Round Tuit

Many years ago my mum bought my dad a small wooden disc, with the word “Tuit” painted on it. My mum figured that now my dad had gotten a round tuit, things might start happening around the house. You can’t fault that logic.

When time is tight, personal development can grind to a halt. Procrastination blocks progress. So that’s where the 5 page business book summaries from Get Abstract come in, singing and dancing their way into your time starved life. There are over 4,500 books to choose from, and with 50 new titles per month, you can get round to advancing your knowledge and skills. Today.

And the survey says…

I’m still curious to know more about you, so please take this tiny 2 question survey to tell me about your reading habits.
