![]() Some laugh-out-loud moments too, as you’d expect.Ģ – Podcast – I recently discovered the podcast “ My First Million” that interviews people about how they become millionaires. Lots of interesting discussion points, from fame and fortune to comedy and freedom of speech. Stuff I enjoyed this weekġ – Podcast – This episode of Sam Harris’ podcast where he interviews Ricky Gervais was excellent. We answer questions about startups, procrastination, motivation, productivity, money-making, rejection, investments, imposter syndrome and hair loss. This episode is a Life Advice Q&A that Taimur and Ali did as part of Ali’s 300,000 YouTube subscriber milestone video. This week’s podcast Not Overthinking | 020 – Ali and Taimur give Life Advice – Answering your Questions | Episode 20 But if you do, and you find like me that you’re reading a tonne of stuff but struggling to remember and apply it, this combination of Kindle highlights + Readwise is a superpower. ![]() If you don’t use a Kindle (your loss lol) or don’t have a lot of highlights, this won’t be of any use to you. For example, let’s say I’m writing about productivity (as usual), I just do an Evernote search for the word ‘productivity’ and in addition to all my notes about it, it’ll find all my Kindle highlights containing the word too.įinally, if you use Instapaper (as I now do) for saving articles to read later, you can highlight those articles and Readwise automatically syncs those highlights straight to Evernote as well. Readwise can also sync your highlights for each book to Evernote – this is super helpful when I’m working on YouTube videos or blog posts. Each day, I stumble upon wisdom that I chose to highlight in a previous life, and often I come across highlights from my favourite books that are spookily relevant to what’s going on in my life. Since September 2018, the daily Readwise email is one that I’ve read religiously. Every morning thereafter, it sends you an email with 5 random highlights from your library. It’s an online service that connects to your Amazon account and automatically imports all your Kindle highlights. Readwise ( affiliate link) is probably the single most valuable app that I pay for across any of my devices. I used to review these highlights occasionally using the Kindle app, but never did so with any regularity until I discovered… Over the past 11 years, I’ve built up a library of over 2,000 highlights from hundreds of books. One of my favourite aspects of reading on the Kindle is that I can highlight anything that resonates with me. I’ve been an evangelist for the Kindle since 2008, and credit it as being the 2nd most valuable thing I’ve ever bought (after the camera that started my YouTube channel). ![]() Over the years, I’ve discovered 2 methods for making this easier. But a major problem I have is remembering key insights from those books and actually applying them to my life. ![]() I like to think I read a lot of books (you can follow my Goodreads profile to see all my past/current books). ![]()
