About this video
A few tips for reading:
- If it doesn't interest you, you probably won't learn anything, so you can drop it.
- You're not in a race to finish the book, in fact, the slower the better. Take a year or two to finish if you need to.
- You can read multiple books at a time. I often have 3 books and an audiobook that I bounce between. You'd be surprised how many connections you make.
- Create a reading ritual. At least 30 minutes every day. Listen to an audiobook on a daily walk, or leave the books you're reading around the house so you can pick them up instead of scroll your phone.
