Avoid buying into "shiny" marketing and take time to ensure it aligns with your objectives. Framework for Action: Distill: Capture key observations and takeaways immediately after consuming content. Apply: Implement a specific action or task from the content to reinforce learning. Link & Own: Connect new insights with existing knowledge and adapt them to suit your unique approach and context. Redefining Success: Course completion rates may be low, but real success lies in applying even one valuable insight. Focus on actionable benefits rather than feeling pressured to complete every detail. Shift Towards Pinpoint Learning: Look for targeted, actionable courses on specific topics, which can lead to higher retention and application rates than broad, all-encompassing programs.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
