How To Read A Book A Week - 3 PROVEN Tricks

Improvement Pill here how to read a book a week? As cliche as it sounds we

all know that people who read succeed I mean look at the numbers eighty-five

percent of millionaires read at least two books per month while 25 percent of

the entire American population hasn't even read a single book all of last year

so what's the best way to actually get yourself to start reading and at a good

pace so that you can succeed too well you can basically guarantee that you'll

read a book a week by taking advantage of three psychological tricks the first

is something called implementation intention basically setting an

appointment see the biggest problem when it comes to reading is actually getting

started so many people buy books that they're interested in and say to

themselves oh I'll definitely read this and guess what the book just sits there

on their shelf never to be touched again by physically writing down the time and

place of when you'll start reading a book you're essentially setting up an

appointment to do so and think about it we don't really miss our appointments

when was the last time you completely skip a job interview or a visit to your

doctor sure you might have been late but when you set an appointment you know

that you have to show up and you usually do

the second psychological trick - reading a book a week is to use what's called

chunking basically breaking down a big task into smaller ones one of the main

reasons people start reading books and never finish is because the task seems

way too big it feels like we can't do it just take a look at the average

non-fiction book which is about 200 pages long how long do you think it

takes to read that entire thing in one sitting you're probably thinking 1015

hours maybe well in reality the average human can read a 200-page book in about

five hours which means you really only have to spend 45 minutes a day reading

which probably accounts to just a chapter or two so instead of saying okay

I'm gonna read tomorrow right out of lunch at home it's much more effective

to say okay I'll read the next chapter tomorrow after lunch at home when you

break down a book - its chapters and even further - its subsections which

most nonfiction books have then your brain will no longer see it as a huge

obstacle that you have to overcome instead of thinking oh my god this is

gonna take forever you'll think ah that's easy I can definitely do that and

finally the last psychological trick to reading a book a week is to use what's

called temptation bundling basically taking a task that you don't enjoy that

much and it's touching it to something that you really

really enjoy for example you can tell yourself that after every chapter or

subsection of a chapter you read you're gonna reward yourself with the

next episode or the next segment of that TV show you love watching by doing this

just a couple of times it will actually start to feel good to read because your

brain will start to associate it with something very pleasurable it's gonna

think wow every time I read a chapter or subsection I feel great after now what

you might find is that you actually start to read more chapters than you

need by combining all of these three tricks you'll end up with something like

this okay tomorrow after lunch at home I'll read the next chapter of my book

and for every chapter I read I get to watch the next segment of the new

episode of Game of Thrones try this out and I guarantee that you'll find

yourself reading a lot more this episode was brought to you with the help of the
