How can you keep yourself calm and read books efficiently

Not every book and everything in every book is necessary to read. Reading selectively means selecting books according to the "reading goal or purpose", as well as selecting some of the contents of the books to read.

1. Give up reading in order from beginning to end, find out which part you are interested in and want to read with the help of the book catalog, and read directly from there. There are also many benefits to reading books in this way, such as quickly getting what you want to know, improving the satisfaction of reading, and avoiding disgust at the beginning of reading.

2. Before reading, learn to ask a few questions according to your goals and needs (to understand xx knowledge and solve xx problems), and then use books as the carrier to solve questions as the goal of reading. Asking questions in this way is so that you have a clear reading goal, be selective when reading, know what to pay attention to, and be more attentive and engaged. After reading it, go back to the questions you asked earlier and check if your goals have been achieved.

3. Change the habit of reading word by word and learn to read with fast reading. Speed reading is actually a method of reading purposefully and selectively based on the material, needs, time, energy, and internal and external circumstances. I usually read at a speed of two or three thousand words a minute, find what interests me, what is important to me, and what I don't understand, and then slow down a little bit to read, and then read the essence of the second reading.

The ability to read quickly, on the one hand, requires continuous reading and accumulation, that is, reading more, which can improve your literacy foundation (vocabulary, knowledge background, reading skills, etc.), thereby improving your reading speed. In addition, it can also be improved by special training. For example, the "Elite Special Speed Reading Training" uses software to train and master the skills of fast reading, and it is generally very easy to master one or two thousand words per minute.

4. Enhance the reading effect by using reading cards or reading notes. After reading a book, write down what you have learned from reading and a specific plan for what you want to do next, and follow it carefully, so that you can apply the knowledge in the book to your life. At the same time, set goals for yourself, such as a plan for three months, and look back after three months to see if you achieved it (tracking, recording your readings, actions).

If you want to do more details, you can organize the books in the form of a knowledge framework or mind map, mainly to refine the important content of the book, but also include some understanding and perception in the process of reading (if there are relevant new knowledge points and new experiences in the later learning or reading, you can also add them to establish a knowledge connection that is convenient for mastering and application). For the content that you feel very emotionally after reading it, you can try to write about your reading impressions.

I used to be a person who didn't like to read, so much so that I didn't do well in school when I was a student. Later, when I joined the work, I felt that I really knew too little, and many times I couldn't talk to others. Later, I watched the news every day, and when I had time, I went to the bookstore to read the books I was interested in.

1. If you want to change your bad habit of not liking to read, you have to change your thinking. Make yourself aware that there is a lot of fun in reading books, and then start reading books from the aspects that interest you, or find some literary works with connotations to read, so that you can resonate with them.

2. Change your habits and add the event of reading books to your habits. You can buy your own books to read at home, or you can go to a bookstore or library at a fixed time every day or week. When this habit persists for 21 days, I will generally enjoy reading.

3. Interest is the best teacher in learning. When you are very interested in this thing, you will unconsciously think about it all the time, want to study it and understand it. So cultivate your own interests, let yourself have an interest in reading and an interest in learning.

Also, if you haven't finished reading a book, don't put it down easily, even if you don't have time this time, then you must read it next time. Because only after reading a book can you know the value of the book, whether it is interesting or not.

4. You can find friends with common interests and hobbies to read books together, which can increase the relationship between both parties and promote the study and progress of the two together. In this way, if you don't want to read a book, the other person will ask you to go too, and vice versa, so that you have fewer excuses and reasons not to read.
