Success is built sequentially; itā€™s one thing at a time

Listen the first key point

There are a lot of people who are passionate about many things. They then try to be good at what they are passionate about. For example, a man can want to learn the guitar, play soccer, be a lecturer at a university, and at the same time be a chef. He wants to do all these because he is passionate about them. This man can do all those things in his lifetime, but he canā€™t do them all at once. And more importantly, he canā€™t excel in every field if he isnā€™t willing to invest time towards mastering them. This is the problem with many people. They spread themselves too thin by going after too many things at the same time. As a result, they end up not achieving much. If you want to make long term changes in your life, choose one thing and focus your energy on being phenomenal in that area.
Amazing results are directly dependent on how narrow you can make your focus.
This summary will open your eyes to the importance of simplifying your workload by focusing on the 1 most important task in any given project.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In todayā€™s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

Iā€™m enjoying what Iā€™m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, Iā€™ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
