@Cyanide : Yeah. I'm fine with context switching on my own terms (if I have multiple parallel projects and can jump between them as I please) but if it's something external I'd like to get more out of it than 5 minutes.

@IntrusionCM if its important concepts, especially if its very company or location specific it could be a good way. We have some security courses (very basic stuff) that every one must watch once a year to make sure we know the drill.
But that is not very related to our actual working tasks.
What's your thoughts on "nano learning"? For example having devs watch a 5 minute education video once per week rather than watching a 20 minute education video once per month.
I used to think it was a great idea, cause as devs we kinda do nano learning all the time on the fly while we are coding and googling.
However after my organisation has started sending us 5 minute education snippets - I've reconsidered.
Since it takes a few minutes to context switch from your current task to an education about something completely different it feels like an annoying chore.
