This is Stevea Robbins with the Get It Done Guys quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.

If you're listening to this podcast, you presumably believe in self-improvement.

Today, we'll discuss how to choose what to learn the next time you read a book or take a class

so you can get the biggest bang for your buck.

The quick and dirty tip is to identify your moments of truth when you create the most important

results in your life and concentrate your improvement efforts on those moments.

If you read books, read books that help your moments of truth.
