END GAME: ACTION POINT 
As with most things in life if you don’t use it you lose it so we all need a simple way of staying aware. A practical approach to achieve this is the 3R’s: Read, Recall and Redistribute.  

  • Say you only read 1 article per day that’s around 30 per month; or nearly 100 in 3 months. Imagine how your knowledge, understanding and innovation will have changed in just 3 months! 
  • But don’t lose it. Hard won gains are easily lost: like muscles you may build through exercise they atrophy at an alarming rate. So avoid that trap by recording the articles you have read every day and add a cryptic note with a key insight. Review your list once  week so can shift the intel from your narrow short term memory into your broad long term memory. 
  • And always compound the personal benefit by sharing your efforts with other members of your team or channel or company. This way you can easily multiple the Learning and Profit Curve by at least a power of 10!
