Even though I’m pretty busy I do try to read often if not daily. A trick I found is matching the type of book you want to read with the time you got. So I usually read around 3 books at the same time:1 low level book easy to read when I’m tired or before going to sleep (ex.: War and Peace or Harry Potter)1 medium level book when commuting or when I don’t have a lot of time (ex.: Wikinomics or Outliers)1 high level book where I must really concentrate and usually take notes – I feel guilty when reading a book about learning something and don’t take notes (ex.: Good to great or Blue Ocean Strategy)This technique works pretty well for me even though I wish I would read more. Sometimes some really good books come up and I’ll just devote all the time I got for it, like when I was reading Anathem from Stephenson.One other thing is to resist the urge to just surf the internet or play a poker game during the commuting
Yes, pretty much. Low level for me means I’m able to read it a few pages at a time and that even though I might be tired I’ll understand what’s going on. Considering War and Peace is a novel, it was pretty easy to read and understand. Of course War and Peace and Harry Potter are two very different books, but I still read both of them before going to sleep or when I had limited time ahead of me.
