To start with, you can make an account
on Good reads, so as to discover good books and to keep track of all that you
have read and all that you want to read. Also, don’t just read about everything
and anything available out there. Don’t read trash because there are many
useless books out there. It won’t help you. Read good stuff and do productive
reading.
While reading books:
- If the book that you are reading doesn’t interest you, then just leave it and move to another one. There are so many good books out there, don’t just hang around with one book.
- Also read the kind of books that will have some impact on you, books that will give you a sense of realization, an epiphany.
- Find your purpose for reading.
- And rather than speed-reading, do an effective reading rather than how much you are reading. Quantity doesn’t matter really.
- Actively remember what you are reading. Adhere to it while reading non-fiction. Always ask YOURSELF while reading what all I want to remember out of it. We are talking about the key points.
- One additional step you can add to your new reading habit is writing down your takeaways.
