Hello, I hope my information is useful to you in some way. A while ago I read on a forum that reading at least one hour a day leads you to read 1 or 2 books a month. After that, I wanted to test the technique and I read one of my first books in full.
Since then, I have been working on my reading habit.
I try to dedicate at least one hour a day to reading, and I apply it in the following way.
In the morning, before starting my more complex tasks, I meditate for 5 minutes and then read for 30 minutes. (I use a stopwatch ⏱️)
In the morning, I read something related to bitcoin or economics, since when we wake up our minds are clearer and fresher for more complex topics.
During the day, while I do my daily tasks, I read secondary things, articles on SN, comments, some news on Twitter or the Internet, etc.
And at night 🌃 the second batch.
Before going to sleep, I read 30 more minutes. And here I read a different book than in the morning, and in this way I can read two books 📚 at the same time. And without the need to jump from one content to another immediately and have everything mix up in my head before assimilating it, in this way I can distinguish one reading from the other - I must mention that I focus my reading at night on other topics - for example, self-improvement, fantasy, philosophy, among others, that is, a totally different theme than the one used during the mornings.
Another action that, in my opinion, I consider necessary for the best absorption of the information we get from books, is to keep a record of notes on what is read, in my "Logseq" after a reading session, I drop down what I consider most outstanding, some paragraph, phrase or fragment of the text. Which helps me to later review that book 📕 without the need to read it again, I began to apply it after reading "The Richest Man in Babylon" for the third time, that book changed my life forever, with respect to my first signs of awakening about money, so I was reading it once a year practically from the first time until today, now the next time I need strength from that knowledge I just have to go to the notes in "Logseq" and do a review without having to reread the entire book.
I hope it can help in some way to whoever reads this text, thank you very much for creating the space where I can download these letters.
