As the years press upon us, we increasingly feel that time is disappearing at the speed of a snowflake melting on the asphalt in Knin in August. Some reliably consider the funnel theory, which states that time flows faster as it approaches its narrowing, its inevitable end. We yearn for a little slowness, for a minute, an hour, or a day more, while simultaneously spending it quite irrationally. For instance, on endless scrolling through social platforms. Hundreds of memes with cats. Reels in which adults dance for some reason. ASMR videos, useless tutorials, shorts with unfunny pranks… For the brain, such content can occasionally be, as users like to say, “unusually pleasant,” but we have a better idea: spend your free minutes learning. This suggestion may evoke memories of comrade Lenin and his famous “Learn, learn, and only learn,” but it is actually about the concept of microlearning that you will find on the Lider portal.

Starting this week, we will publish short educational bites that last only a few minutes, which will not only teach you new information from the world of business and life but also positively affect your cognitive and emotional systems. Namely, micro-lessons reduce cognitive overload: they are short and sweet, and you will consume them without delay. And, of course, learn something new, refresh familiar lessons, or discover new knowledge. On the other hand, mastering new knowledge and spending (precious) time learning new things will create a sense of satisfaction, pride, and achievement. Or, as Harvard Business Review once published, when we achieve a goal, whether ‘macro’ or ‘micro’, the brain releases dopamine, which then improves attention, memory, motivation, and the feeling of satisfaction. Therefore, treat yourself to a dose of dopamine, lessons in small bites. You can return to cat memes later. If you even have time for that.
