This is a list of practical ways for sharing smaller & faster as I read.

This is great! I am not sure how fast you read, but I felt you could do 1 takeaway 1 chapter a day tweet! Like I am doing podcast tech tips a day type of tweet! I also wonder if you could start a tweet thread with the one book, and kept replying for the chapters takeaway! :D
