⛔️ I HATED Reading BOOKS!

Now I read 1 book a week, here are 8 book reading habits that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER!

⬇️ 🧵 Thread...

#1. You don't have to read the entire book. Sometimes, I know the point and i mark it "read"

#2. Do not take notes while reading a book. Take them the next day from your memory, using your own words. It will stick to you forever.

#3. Don't read anything that requires you to "think" after 5 PM. I read my complex reading in the morning and my easiest before bed.

#4. Make a list of 1-2 important concepts you learned and put them where you can refer back to them. ( I use @NotionHQ ) I come back to these concepts often and connect missing dots.

#5. Ask a random friend if they have read "x" book. If they say no, explain the entire book to them, so they don't have to read it. This feels so satish-fying.

#6. Try tweeting a 1 tweet summary of the book. It will force you to write beautifully.

#7. If you are bilingual, Explain the book to someone else in a different language. This has instantly made me sound smarter in front of my relatives and allowed me to get more marriage proposals.

#8. Read books that are out of your primary industry. For example, I am in software/business but i read engineering books, art, language etc. You will instantly have SUPER POWER to connect dots like never before.
