The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Readers:
1/ Schedule Reading
Effective readers don't hope they'll have time to read, they MAKE time to read.
They schedule time in their day to read a book just like how they schedule a time to have a meeting with a coworker or workout session with a trainer.

2/ Ask Questions
Effective readers view books as a discussion with the author, not a lecture.
They listen to what the author has to say but then ask questions such as:
-Are their sources reliable?
-Is this information up to date?
-Are these lessons backed by science?
