My adhd can both make me read that entire book in either 6 months or 6hours, no in between. So I’ll take any tips I can to help that. Cause I do love reading but I burn out so easy

📚 awesome tips. Instead of pages, I usually go by chapters. I feel “incomplete” when I don’t finish a chapter.

For me I get most of my reading done while im laying in bed in the morning and at night. Its helped me so much to detach from my phone and fix my insomnia. Reading before bed lets me brain rest and reading in the morning motivates me to get up and return to the book I was reading.

IMO it’s better to focus on time spent reading rather than a goal around page counts. Reading quickly might be good for deadlines. But reading slowly, intentionally and deeply (yes I’m a Cal Newport fan) is better for most other purposes. Just my opinion of course! Keep up the good work. 📖

It's suuuuuch a simple idea but having a page goal makes a huge difference. Great video!

Love the book weight and timer suggestions, will definitely be implementing! Started trying to read more this year, used to always have my head in a book when younger, but have fallen into the screen time trap, and have genuinely felt much more settled and happier switching screens for books! 📚

Great tips! I already used your advice on keeping track of daily reading goals and i love it. at least for me, having a timer is distracting

These are such great tips. I have so many books I want to read but rarely finish because I get lost between all the books or get busy and forget what about what I was reading. Thank you!

📚 This is a really helpful video. I've been struggling to pick up reading and seeing your examples really helps to find a way to motivate myself. Never thought about dividing the number of pages and setting a goal. Thanks for all your videos, they always help

All tips are brilliant. This is a needed response to the crazy out there. I’ve noticed how often my hand/brain wants the phone even though it sucks the life from me. It’s not connection, it’s a more sinister device than I ever knew. I’m subscribed and can replace some of that wasted time with positive reinforcement. I’d love to read a book a week steadily plus record my thoughts, and note any ideas. I am a collector of notebooks, books, pens and pencils, and that’s how I found this channel, but what I like is what you’re studying and how you’re accomplishing it! The inspiration is appreciated.

Dude I love your channel! I’m so inspired to learn and document my knowledge acquisition because of your videos. Great job! I keep rewatching them to stay inspired.

Great tips! I use a post it note arrow to mark interesting points to come back to or where I left off if I’m interrupted, or when writing out a quote , so I don’t lose my place. Def like the catch all notebook for this distracting thoughts!

I'm actually going to apply your method this week and see how well it works for me. I got the book to read, the notebooks, and the timer-- now I just need to implement the action. Thanks for sharing this video came right on time. 📚

📚 great ideas. Thank you! I implemented a reading log several months ago inspired by one of your videos and it has helped me to read more. I like the simple idea of dividing the number of pages by days and blocking off time each day. Have you made a video yet describing how you organize your numerous notebooks? Also, do you keep all of them?

Love this so much. I tend to overcomplicate and overthink things like this, but it really is quite simple. You have motivated me to read more. I especially like your comment about how your reading skill will grow exponentially over time. Thanks for this awesome channel. 📚

📚 The catchall notebook and digital timer both seem like great tools to improve focus. Will definitely give them a try. Thank you!

Very wise and practical tips. I love this type of content. Thank you!

Love this channel and Parker’s Pensees. Hope you’re doing well! Thank you

📚 genuinely helpful and simple stuff, i like that you don't over explain and keep it short, but to the point, cheers.
