Suppose you read one book a day, you can read 365 books a year. If you can do the same thing every day for 365 days, you don't need to read any more (you are awesome).
Suppose you read a book for an average of three days, you can probably read 120 books a year, which is actually quite difficult. How can it be so regular? Besides reading, you still have work and life.
Suppose you read a book for an average of four days, you can read about 90 books a year. If you know reading skills better, you can read 100 books a year.
If you read one book a week (7 days) on average, you can read about 50 books a year. I suggest that beginners aim at this, because the requirements are really not high. Read one book a week and read it well. And insist on writing down your reading experience. After one year, you will have great gains.
I have also read a lot of books, and I have some ideas about reading.
I used to keep trying, such as a book a day, but later found it too difficult to stick to it. It was unnecessary to pursue quantity blindly. I also try to read a book for three days, but you will find that the rules you want are always unexpected and always interrupted by trivial things.
Because uncle Xiang has a habit, he must write reading notes and experiences when reading a book. It takes a lot of time to write notes and thoughts, so now I basically insist on reading a book every week (7 days) and recording my feelings.
Let me share some of my reading experiences with you, hoping to help you achieve efficient reading.
First of all, this is not a quick way to teach you how to read a book for half an hour. Because people's energy is really limited, I just stand on my own point of view and offer more reasonable suggestions, hoping to adopt them ~
0 1 Before reading, you need to be clear. First, you need to think about the following questions thoroughly:
1. How much time can I concentrate on reading without interference every day?
2. Is reading an important investment for me?
3. What fields and aspects of knowledge do I like?
4. What kind of books should I read?
If you are really too busy, then I advise you to take some time out and read some books anyway.
If you think reading is just because you are lonely, then I think you should think about your future again. You must make it clear that reading is to absorb information and knowledge, to cultivate one's morality, to find inspiration in work and life, not to complete tasks, and not to go to a circle of friends.
If you don't know your own preferences, others can't help you.
Some people like paper books, others like e-books, which is not absolute. I like paper books because I like the feeling of reading words, but I think the main reason for reading e-books is the fragmentation time and convenience.
Because I usually have to go to work, the time is really limited. Generally, on the way to work, on the subway or bus, I can read kindle e-books. I really suggest you buy a kindle. It really hurts your eyes to watch your mobile phone all the time. About how to buy kindle, download and purchase skills of related books, I will focus on writing an article to share later.
You need a suitable time and environment. If conditions permit, I hope you can choose a scientific time and a good environment. Choosing the right time and environment can greatly improve the efficiency of reading. Of course, the best time for everyone to read is different. For example, there is morning reading in school, but it is not suitable for every student. Some people are night owls and pay special attention at night. According to scientific analysis, from 6: 30 am to 8: 00 am and from 9: 00 pm to 10 pm, these two time periods are the prime time for memory.
Uncle Xiang usually reads for an hour before going to bed, which is about 1 1 o'clock. Everyone needs to choose a suitable time period according to his own situation.
Regarding the environment, I think the most important factor is that there is no interference, and silence is the first. In fact, I can go anywhere, of course, it is best to stay in my bedroom, which is why I choose to study late at night. At the same time, you need to ensure the correct sitting posture, and never lie down, you know.
Some people like to listen to music and read books at night, which is really not recommended, because you are really not so awesome and completely undisturbed.
Don't read the book before you get it. Many people start reading it as soon as they get it. Do your parents know that you are so impatient? Don't worry about getting the book. Guess what the book is about by its title. Next, look at the table of contents with questions about this theme. The table of contents is really a good thing. If you look at the table of contents, you can understand the structure, chapters and main lines of the book and what each chapter is about.
To make the above preparations, I suggest you read the whole book quickly from beginning to end. The so-called extensive reading, that is, don't ask for much understanding, just ask for understanding, and stay in each chapter for no more than 3 minutes. This requires practice, forcing yourself to practice deliberately.
Never read the whole book line by line. Many friends have this habit. It takes time to read the recommendation, preface and postscript from the first word to the last word of the book. You are full of energy. Know that you are not reading an article, and that a book is not all useful information. Just pick the key points and read them again and again. Those non-core contents that are not helpful to you can pass by depending on the situation. Generally speaking, it seems to be very serious in reading, but it is actually stupid.
How to Start Intensive Reading A book has passed the previous extensive reading, so as to have a general understanding of the structure and content of the whole book. Then, I suggest that it takes four days to read each chapter carefully. Of course, you can skip the chapters that you think are not very important. Don't take notes in a hurry at this time. It is too inefficient to take notes while reading. I don't know when a book will be finished. My suggestion is to put it in the back. When it is almost Saturday and Sunday every week, you will have relatively enough time. At this time, you need to calm down and take notes and experience.
06 Be sure to take notes. Different people have different opinions about notes. Uncle Xiang generally likes to use mind maps to sort them out. Here, we recommend using Xmind or Mindmanager. There are many cracked versions of software on the Internet that can be used directly. I hope that when you are sorting out your notes, you can look back at the whole book and read the key contents several times again to make notes.
Of course, it depends on personal habits, but I suggest that you have a mind map for each chapter. This form is better.
There are many routines on the internet about writing reading experience. I think the key is to choose a good platform first. If you have a personal blog, you can put it on your own blog. If you don't, I recommend the platform of "Jane Book", which can record wholeheartedly and is very clean. You can also use tools such as evernote to organize it, of course, depending on your personal habits.
How to write about reading experience, come according to your own ideas, or refer to other routines on the internet and imitate the general meeting.
In general, be sure to take notes! Be sure to take notes! Be sure to take notes! It is very important.
Can I read more than one book at the same time? Sure, you don't have to cram a book to the end. If you have limited energy, you can read two books, but not more.
Like Uncle Xiang, he reads kindle e-books on his way to work during the day and a paper book before going to bed at night. Different books bring different inspirations when you read them, so you can record two reading experiences by the weekend, which is very efficient.
Of course, if you are just a novice, it is strongly recommended that you read one by one. Sometimes it is good to be good.
There are good and bad books. Anyway, every book is worth reading. Please make sure you choose the one that suits you. Never force yourself to read abstruse books. It's not necessary, not to pretend.
In addition, I hope that everyone will not be confined to a single field, and look more, and their eyes will be brighter.
The above are some of my little reading suggestions and my own experiences, hoping to bring some help and inspiration to everyone.
Finally, I attach 500 high-scoring books of Douban to share with you. If necessary, you can pay attention to my V-letter brown number: xksbrs, and reply: "Book list", and you can see it. If you want to improve your writing skills, you are welcome to follow me. I have a special article to explain.
You can choose the one that suits you. Go and have a good look.
