How do you read more than a book per week? I meed longer even with a really good book and a fairly light schedule.
2. So if I aim to read at least 30 minutes a day on weekdays and then 2-3 hours a day on weekends, they go by pretty quick.
3. I had a week’s vacation back in May and ended up reading 6 books that week. So prioritizing reading when I have extra time helps.
4. If a book sounds interesting, I buy it without thinking about it too much. It shows up on my Kindle and then when it’s time to read I know I won’t waste too much time picking out and buying a new book.
Novels like detective stories or whatever, I just want to follow the plot and enjoy it — I really don’t care if I can remember it at all when I’m done. One benefit of this is that there are some books I’ll revisit every few years and really re-enjoy. Then there’s some books where I’ll be like “this sounds good” and then 1/2-way into it I realize I read it a decade ago.
For non-fiction books (particularly those I want to learn from) I make myself go slower and rely on highlights and notes to improve retention.
