How to read more books
Feb 1, 2021
- Read what you want to read, not what you want to want to read
- Only read books that others say have changed their life
- Befriend the library. Always have holds queued up.
- Borrow books you’ve never read, buy books you want to read again.
- Ruthlessly abandon books you’re not enjoying (#4 makes this possible)
- Join a book club
- Use an alarm clock and resist bringing your phone into the bedroom
- Put your book on your pillow, not your nightstand, to force a conscious decision to read each night
- Read for the first fifteen minutes of your work day. (I read 9 books doing this last year)
- Track your progress
