The best tips to Read More

Here are the best tips to read more books, more stories!

The key to reading more books is to make it a part of your morning routine. By reading for 15–30 minutes in the morning, you start your day inspired and productive, which you carry throughout the rest of your day.

Furthermore, by reading in the morning you make sure you actually get your daily reading done. Later in the day, you might not have the time, energy, or focus left to read a book.

Take a look at your average mornings and analyze which activities are relatively useless. Maybe it’s checking social media, watching Netflix, or anything else. Replace these useless activities for 15–30 minutes of reading, which actually fuels your personal growth.

Another way to read more books is by incorporating a 15 to 30-minute reading session in your nighttime routine. Put your electronic devices away 30–60 minutes before bedtime and use some of that time to read.

Not only has this been proven to improve the quality of your sleep, but you’ll also fuel your personal growth and go to bed satisfied.

3. Listen To Audiobooks On-The-Go

Do you love reading business and self-development books, but somehow struggle to find the time in your busy schedule to read? That used to be the case for me as well.

Before you know it, you fall behind on your reading — and your books are just collecting dust on the bookshelf. Fortunately, there’s a way to ‘read’ books no matter how busy your schedule is.

There’s always some ‘lost time’ in your day. You could see ‘lost time’ as the moments in your day when you’re doing things you have to do, which aren’t cognitively demanding or contribute to anything meaningful.

Things like your daily commute to work, grocery shopping, showering, waiting, walking, sitting in a 4-hour flight, and cleaning are all examples of ‘lost time.’

Fortunately, with apps like Audible, you can transform this ‘lost time’ into productive time by listening to audiobooks on your phone.

Billionaire investor Sir John Templeton was famous for always keeping reading material with him wherever he went. He even contributed a large part of his success to this habit.

That’s why I almost always carry a book with me — no matter where I go. When you have to wait for a few minutes, your time is better spent reading a book than scrolling through social media.
