Remember when you wished you had more time to spend on your hobbies, your home projects, or your career development? Well, here we are, with loads of time, yet many of us are wondering if time was ever really the issue. But it’s no wonder if you’re having trouble focusing—things are not normal, things are not fine. One side-effect you might not even realize is that the pandemic crisis is making it harder to read. And that’s where condensed content, like that found in the 12min Micro Book Library, comes in.

This fun and easy-to-consume summary library will help you find something that’s entertaining, enriching, and less difficult to focus on. Expand your mind with access to hundreds of nonfiction micro books in text and audio form, all designed to be read and digested in, you guessed it, 12 minutes. With 30 new titles released every month on subjects like productivity, finance, leadership, and more, and no need for internet access to use the app (plus Kindle compatibility), you’ll be out of reasons to procrastinate on reading.

If you’re extra stressed or extremely blah right now, utilizing 12min’s growing book list to enhance your mind will wind up making you feel so much better. It will give you a little sense of accomplishment to recharge your energy, and, hey, it might even inspire you to try and read a book every day—that’s 365 books in a year. How many people do you know who can say they’ve done that? Let ’em make White Claw slushies; you’re being productive (OK, you can have one after 12 minutes of reading). Oh, and if the micro book library doesn’t have a title you’re looking for? Submit it, and the staff behind 12min will get to work on it for you!

When the COVID-19 crisis ends—and it will—you’ll be all the more prepared to return full force to your professional life as a better team member with new ideas on the latest market trends or a whole set of new skills. And in the meantime, it’ll give you something better to do than making stimulus check memes.

The 12min Micro Book Library is available in your choice of 1-year, 2-year, or lifetime subscriptions, starting at just $19. Snag the lifetime deal and get the biggest discount of them all.
