Setting aside ten minutes daily to learn something is possible. If it is not, where does your time go?

On a personal level: as you wake up, you have roughly 100 such 10-minute blocks before you go to bed. Can you squeeze out one block before bed, commuting, or after lunch?

On a company level: your company is buying roughly 50 10-minute blocks per day from its employees. Investing one of those fifty blocks in learning doesn’t make a difference for day-to-day work but sets the foundation for the individual growth of your team members.

Ten minutes feels ridiculously small, but there is a lot you can do in ten minutes.

• Complete a Duolingo session.
• Read 10 pages of a book.
• Watch one Udemy video.
• Repeat your flashcards.
• Implement one function for your side project.

Besides, 10 minutes is a lower bound. Setting a very small threshold for learning makes it easier to start. You can always do more.

By the way, it took me 10 minutes to write this post.
