How to read more books
Tips / / December 19, 2019
You have full shelves of unread books and you think that you will never find a sufficient amount of time and effort to read? Most of us like to read, be it educational or entertaining reading, but we still can not find the time or are simply unable to bring himself to read. If your books continue to gather dust, use the tips to help you read more this year.
Select books you want to read
As a rule, you accumulate books that for some reason you need to read. It can be presented books, or books that are praised by your friends.
You do not have to read all this, you need to choose the books you want to read it is you, not your friends or sellers in bookstores. And if you want to read the classics, find the reason for this. Cause more compelling than "I am ashamed that I still have not read it then."
How to find the books that you really want to read, and which decide to spend their money? You can help:
- Recommendations from friends who like the same books as you.
- Books in your favorite genres.
- Books from authors you already know from other publications or blogs.
In order to find people with similar tastes and even get recommendations on books, use the service Goodreads or e.g. Bfeed.
Give yourself time to adapt
Not every book can take you from the beginning. You may know nothing about the subject matter (if it is non-fiction) or characters (if the hudlit) and the book can not "go."
Give yourself time trying to understand the book, to understand it. Do not start a new book, if you only have five minutes to spare. Involvement in the book may require effort, but if you are passionate about reading will go faster.
Of course, if you have already read 50 pages, and the book is still readable or readable by force, you may want to stop reading it. No one is forcing you to finish every book you start.
Keep close to the book
If your work has a temporal gaps, why not fill in their reading books? If you always have to wait for something, spend this boring time with benefits.
If you are going to a meeting, be sure to take the book with them. Each of us found himself in a situation where you need to wait for someone. And we go from corner to corner, feeling foolish. Take the book and you will do.
The same rule works and houses. The book is worth putting out there, where you spend most of your time relaxing. For example, leave it on the coffee table. In short, where you can sit down and spontaneously take the book in hand.
Get a finally-reader
If you still have not brought the reader, be sure to do it. It is much more convenient than you think. Especially when it comes to the Kindle and the like, then you can carry hundreds of books in one device and the computer to reduce the harmful effects on the visual system. Anyway, if you have forged e-reader and begin to actively use it - you definitely read more than usual.
