How to get yourself into the habit of reading

To get yourself into the habit of reading, start with your interest. That is, read what you are interested in first, not what you should read. We need to know that the benefits of reading are not limited to masterpieces, you can read story books, reference books, cookbooks, children's books, etc., as long as you enjoy it, everything that can help you exercise reading.

Being too obsessed with what we read in the first place will only hinder us from developing reading habits.

Once you start squeezing time into reading, the next step is to set up challenges to keep your interest and enthusiasm alive. For example, if you usually read fiction, try non-fiction. This keeps things fresh, you're more likely to keep reading, and you're likely to find new favorite authors and topics, which will keep you motivated to read.

The efficiency of reading is very important, whether it is a student or a worker, the time that can be squeezed out to read is always limited, and if the efficiency is low and the reading is hindered, the interest will gradually fade. You can learn to master the method of speed reading, which is a method of reading purposefully and selectively according to the material, needs, time, energy, and internal and external environment. The ability to read quickly, on the one hand, requires continuous reading and accumulation, that is, reading more, which can improve our literacy foundation (vocabulary, knowledge background, reading skills, etc.), thereby improving your reading speed.

In addition, special training is also needed, such as "Elite Special Speed Reading Training", which trains and masters the skills of fast reading through software, and it is generally very easy to master one or two thousand words per minute.

In the process of reading, if you can't understand and enjoy it, then throw it away for the time being. People have different knowledge and understanding of the same book at different stages. If you still can't understand and enjoy some of the content, it means that you can't enjoy the book for the time being, so you don't have to hold on to it, explore and choose other reading materials.

Insist on reading your favorite books every day to improve your reading ability and develop good habits.

1. Wake up one hour early every day to readIf you schedule reading an hour before bedtime, it can also be useful to wake up an hour earlier to read, and if you don't have a reading habit at night, you can get up an hour earlier to read. According to research, many successful people are morning people, and at the same time, it is easier to concentrate in the morning. "Is it an alarm clock or a dream that wakes you up every morning?

Numerous studies have shown that people who are accustomed to waking up early every day are more likely to be successful.

2. Take 20 minutes to rest at noon to conserve energyStudies have shown that a 20-minute break at noon makes you feel more energetic in the evening. If you are an office worker, in addition to eating at noon, you must give yourself a twenty-minute break, and you will be more energetic to read in the evening. In addition, there will be more mental work in the afternoon, killing two birds with one stone.

3. Subscribe to magazines and have something to read every week and monthThe best thing about subscribing to a magazine is that you are compulsively reading, for example, a weekly magazine will send you a copy every week so that you can't read it, so if you are too lazy to buy a book, or always have the idea of waiting until you have more time to buy a book, then subscribe to the magazine, and there is no excuse not to read.

1. Make a reading plan.

All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. "Read that there should be a plan, and this plan includes the time, the content, the requirements, and the measures to achieve the plan. The form of the plan is informal, but it should be realistic.

2. Combination of reading, writing, and use.

After reading, it is necessary to put the newly learned knowledge and skills into practice. Writing is also an application. Write experiences, take notes, write short reviews, and finally use them. Reading is learning, using is also learning, and it is very important learning.

3. Seek advice with an open mind.

When encountering problems that cannot be solved by using reference books and researching materials, you should humbly seek advice from teachers and classmates. "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher", "Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good".

4. Be diligent in self-study.

The ancients said: "Industry is good at diligence, and absurdity is in play", "learning is diligent", these famous sayings all say that learning must be diligent. Reading depends on one's own efforts, and what you can do is incomparably higher, and you can't wait for teachers to teach you, and you can't rely on reference books.

It is necessary to consciously learn and act, change "I want to learn" to "I want to learn", and give full play to our own subjective initiative.

5. Be "mindful" when reading

Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty said: "Reading should be three times, which means the heart, the eyes, and the mouth." If the heart is not here, then the eyes are not careful, the heart and eyes are not single-minded, but they only read and read, and they must not remember, and they cannot remember for a long time.

In addition, as soon as it arrives, it is necessary to be diligent in hand, to extract the original sentence or make a mark, and then use the sentence in your own article when writing reading notes. Among the four, the heart to the hand is the most important.

6. Use your brain more when reading.

According to their own abilities, they should use their brains to analyze and compare the reading materials, and then chant and experience. Mr. Lu Xun advocated that reading should be seriously considered and observed. He said:

Reading should be "self-thinking and self-observing." If you only read a book, it becomes a bookcase. He also pointed out that to read a book, you should first understand the content structure of the book, and then think about what it is, why, and how.

Students should continue to summarize the practice of reading, find a reading method that suits them, form a habit, and benefit for life.
