Here are 7 bite-sized videos to watch and share with your friends every day of the week

MANILA, Philippines —  Wanting to better yourself is a common desire for many. However, with our busy schedules, allotting time for learning is not always easy.

For one, many still think that learning is about enrolling into classes, reading self-help books, studying — activities that are not always “fun” for everybody and may take a lot of time. Well, to truly boost your productivity, a mindset shift must first be in place.

We must realize that learning is no longer as formal as it once was. In a time where our lives are becoming more and more connected to the internet, self-teaching is the easiest than it has ever been.

The question is, where do we start? Well, they say the best way to learn is visually, through watching. You can gain so much from even the most bite-sized of videos. So to help you out, here are some of our recommendations:

Understanding procrastination

Feeling a bit sluggish, the Monday blues perhaps? Well, the first step to making a difference is understanding.

In this insightful yet lighthearted TED Talk, Tim Urban asks us to reflect on procrastination. With some deep thought comes better realizations—like what opportunities are lost when we put things off and the financial cost of procrastination.

In this talk, Urban encourages to start seeing things in the “now.” Hopefully, this can boost anyone’s productivity.

Get the gist of many self-help books

Are you passionate about reading but feel like you don’t have the time anymore?

While the warm satisfaction of sitting down and immersing yourself in a book is irreplaceable, learning which lessons a book contains without reading cover to cover is not impossible.

The Productivity Game Youtube channel features a self-help book every week. Via an animated video, the channel provides book summaries, doling out the most important lessons you could gain from reading the featured book.

Who knows, what you may learn from each video might pique your interest enough to get you to sit down and read the whole thing.
