TL;DW: How to 'Watch' a 2-Hour Podcast in 5 Minutes

"Did you listen to that new Huberman episode?" "No, I was busy living my life."

I love podcasts. But 3 hours? 4 hours? It's getting ridiculous. I want the knowledge. I don't want the commitment.

Enter Eyesme Extension. It's my "Podcast CliffNotes."

The "Skim-Listen" Technique

You can't skim audio. But you can skim a transcript. And you can definitely skim an AI summary.

How I Do It

1. The "Vibe Check"

I open the video. The Move: "What is the main topic of this episode? Is it worth my time?" The Result: "They discuss the benefits of cold plunges." Okay, I've heard this 50 times. Skip.

2. The "Nugget Hunt"

I find a good episode. The Move: "What are the 3 most actionable tips mentioned in this video?" The Result: "1. Sleep in a cold room. 2. View sunlight in the morning. 3. Don't drink coffee after 2 PM." Perfect. That's all I needed.

3. The "Quote Stealer"

I want to sound smart on Twitter. The Move: "Find a profound quote about discipline from this episode." The Result: "Discipline is freedom." - Jocko. Tweeted.

The Verdict

You don't have to listen to every word to get the value. Be a curator, not a sponge.
