I worked for @podcastnotes for 2 years.

During that time, I summarized 500+ podcasts.

Here are 10 tips to become a more effective & efficient podcast listener:
1) Sample Before Committing

Before committing 2+ hours to a podcast, take 30 seconds to read the timestamps.

They'll give you a roadmap of what topics will be covered & what you can expect to learn.

You can also use the timestamps to skip over parts that don't interest you.
2) Up The Speed

99% of podcasts can be listened to at 1.25 or 1.5x speed without any decrease in listening pleasure.

Even the best speakers use filler words & speak slowly because they need time to think about their answers.

A 2hr podcast at 1.5x speed will save you 40 mins!

Here are 20 of my favorite quotes from it:

β€œYou do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

10 of the most important visuals from "Atomic Habits" by @JamesClear:

(thread) 🧡
1) 1% Better Every Day

If you get 1% better every day for one year, you won't become 10x better...

You'll become 37x better.

Small improvements compound over time and lead to huge results.
2) The Plateau of Latent Potential

Progress is not always linear. Our results are often delayed.

The "valley of disappointment" is the period where we feel discouraged after putting in lots of work without experiencing results.

But this work is not wasted, it's being stored.
