Motivation Books / / December 19, 2019
If you do not have time to read, chances are you're doing wrong. How to find time for a book to read more and to remember the read? We know the answers.
we are accustomed to to read from cover to cover, and began at even the most boring book, do not abandon it until we reach the end. But reluctance to finish uninteresting story forces us to postpone it again and again, and as a result we generally abandon reading. And while we continue to regret that little read.
Designer Tobias Schneider (Tobias van Schneider) has found a new approach to the books, which allows him to read more, read to comprehend and memorize the right.

In an era of short posts on Twitter and Facebook our habits in terms of reading have changed, and the old approach kills any desire to take over
books. But who said that we are obliged to comply with the old rules, especially if they do not work anymore?Here is a modern approach to reading that successfully applies Tobias Schneider.
Tobias SchneiderI read because it opens my eyes, makes me less judging and more open to new ideas, to what I do not know yet. Reading - is a constant change of perspective, a habit that should make every designer.
1. Buy a few books
Always buy a few books at a time. Let your library will always be from 3 to 10 unread books. So you can pick up something that will be interesting to you in the moment, and will no longer use the excuse, "I have nothing to read."
2. Simultaneously read three books
Start reading three or four books at the same time and alternate them depending on your mood. The alternation of art books with informative literature may be somewhat confusing, but it all depends on you.
You automatically will be your favorite book of the ones that you are reading. And if you get stuck on some of them, then keep on reading more.
3. Read the way you want
From the moment you bought a book, it is completely yours and you can do with it whatever you want. I did not like the page? You can snatch it. I wanted to mention something on the fields? Forward!
You do not have to read the chapters that you do not like. If you've read a dull moment, just skip it and read on. And if you've downloaded the book just for the sake of one chapter, just read it and delete the product without any regret.
4. Quickly decide the fate of his books
If you bought a book, I began to read it and realized that it is not interesting to you, put it on for a while. Try reading a month, for example, when you feel a little bit different. If and when the book does not interest you, leave a futile attempt to read it and give someone.
You do not have to read a book just because they bought it. It is because of these uninteresting books, some of us stop and for several months, do not read anything.
5. Make your book
Book only as good as you think it is. The announcements can be written anything, but if two people buy the same product, it will be different for each of them.
That's what great books - we have different read and interpret them depending on who we are at the moment.
Therefore, stories and novels that you read a year ago, is now completely different. Just remember this.
6. Always bring the book with them
In any spare minute - in public transport, at the bus stop, in the queue - you can read a few pages. Always remember that the smartphone there are some unread books.
7. Read twice
Reading the book for the second time has a magical effect. When we read the first time, we are focused on the story that tells the author.
Reading the second time, we deeply feel the book emotionally. We are projecting their personalities to tell a story and how to read about themselves.
You find it difficult to force myself to read the book twice? Tobias Schneider uses for this audiobook. If Tobias is reading a work of more than a week, he finds it in the audio format and start listening from the beginning.
Because of this, reading is rather late. Audio version behind the paper on pages 20-40, and yet it is close enough to remind you of what has been read recently.
These seven rules will help you not only to read more, but also to memorize better feel of the book and to receive from them the most pleasure.
