Twitter is the most powerful social media platform in the world.

However, most people don't know how to use it effectively.

Here are 10 tips that will help you master Twitter...
1/ Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Your Twitter profile is your new business card.

People should be able to quickly understand who you are and what you have to offer.

Pick your banner photo purposefully.

And have a link in your bio so people can learn more about you.

Example: Image
2/ Content Is King But Format Is Queen

Spacing and formating matters.

When making a list, put the shorter words on top and the longer ones on the bottom.

Bad:

• Banana
• Apple
• Blueberry

Better:

• Apple
• Banana
• Blueberry

(PS: Press alt + 8 for bullet points)

I've read 200+ books.

Here are 10 of the most valuable mental models I've learned from them...
1/ Develop A Growth Mindset

People with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed through practice and hard work.

They believe that with the right amount of training, they can accomplish almost any task that someone else can do.
2/ Change What You Can & Accept What You Can't

If you're unhappy about a situation, do what you can to improve it.

But if there's nothing you can do, then accept your circumstances.

Getting upset isn't going to make things better.

Accept things and wait it out.

Having trouble focusing on what you're reading or remembering what you've read?

You may be suffering from reading fatigue.

Here are 5 tips for overcoming reading fatigue.

(thread) 🧵
1) Take A 5 Minute Break Every 25 Minutes

Taking breaks from reading helps avoid eye strain and prevents reading burnout.

You can also use breaks as a way to reward yourself for reading.

(Ex: Read for 30 mins, go enjoy a snack or stretch out, then go return to reading).
2) Identify Your Chronotype

Are you an early bird or night owl?

You'll be more alert at different times of day and want to read during your peak time.

Reading between 1-3pm in the afternoon is usually not a good time for most people—it’s great time to nap, but not to read.

5 Health tips that will help you read more books.

(thread) 🧵
1) Fix Your Vision

If you're having trouble seeing the words in a book you may need glasses.

And if you have glasses but are getting headaches or tired eyes while reading, you might need to update your current prescription.

It also helps to read with lots of light around you.
2) Improve Your Body Posture

Poor body posture restricts oxygen, reduces focus, and concentration.

While reading:

• Maintain a straight spine while reading to avoid back pain.
• Keep your head straight and avoid tilting your neck
• Hold the book up a little under eye-level

10 Book recommendations from @naval.

(thread) 🧵
Sapiens by @harari_yuval

"Sapiens is the best book of the last decade I have read. He had decades to write Sapiens. There’s lots of great ideas in there and it’s just full of them, chock full per page." -Naval

The Sovereign Individual by James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg

"This is the best book I've read since Sapiens (far less mainstream, though)." -Naval
