Learn on the go with text-to-speech
I wanted to recommend 2 text-to-speech solutions that are either free or have generous free plans. I use them to go through my reading list, mainly for literature reviews and emails that don't contain many links (for link-heavy content, it's better to read directly): –The Fast and Easy – Reading Mode.

Bright-Line Rules for Goal Setting
You have the right to remain silent. Forgetting to recite the complete Miranda rights led to a legal victory and established clear guidelines for setting effective goals.

This finding strongly indicates thatהמשך לקרוא "The identified victim – what people really value"
The Zeigarnik Effect and Unfinished Tasks
Unfinished tasks are more memorable than completed ones because of the Zeigarnik effect. And radio programs know that.

Less is more
Less is more.A study from Nature revealed that only 1 in 60 people would choose to remove a Lego brick to improve a structure, instead of adding one, instead of adding one (a highly recommended podcast, by the way!).
