In order to read a lot of books every year, you need to make progress every single day. And there is no shortcut besides fitting and actually reading. If you read for 15 minutes, you are already doing what most people will never ever do. And yes, you can dedicate 15 to 30 minutes to read every single day. If you just make it a priority. Remember, you are the one deciding to which things you dedicate your time.

You can scroll through social media for 15 minutes, or you can read for 15 minutes. It's your choice. Stephen Covey said the key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priority. So make sure you schedule some time to read every single day. Put it on your calendar, just like you do with your doctor's appointment. Brendon Burchard.

I've been reading a book a week for 17 years. He makes reading one of his priorities because that will make him move forward and it will give him access to your new information in content that can that he can later teach to his students on his online courses or books. But here are a few tips that really helped me out to make reading a consistent habit. So the first one is to add on your calendar, the activity of reading for 15 minutes every day, if you do it consistently, it still becomes a habit that you just don't want to skip. So set a goal right now to read every single day for 15 minutes and put that on your calendar. Jim Rohn said, if you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you.

If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you, whatever good things we built, ended up building us. If you have a morning ritual you can have the activity of reading on that part of your day reading before going to work is a profound experience that I experienced every day because in the morning, your willpower is charged you will have Attention, you have focus, you have energy. So that's the best time to read. Your mind is clean and sharp, which will help you to retain more of what you read. In when most people are just starting their days you have already retained and learned a lot of new information. Reading is my favorite part of my morning ritual.

And so I never want to skip it. It requires discipline, but it surely is worth it. Jim, Ron's that discipline as within it, the potential for creating future miracles. I've got a class showing you how you can design your own morning ritual. And reading is a part of that. So if you want to check it out, I highly recommend you.

The second tip to read more is to always carry a book with you while you are waiting for the train or having your lunch break, pick a book and start reading it. You can keep a physical book with you an E reader like Kobo or Kindle or you can listen to audiobooks. There aren't a lot of occasions during the day. Where you have time to read? Or you can also replace social media with reading, but that requires a shift of your priorities and habits. Why do you want to read every day?

Write down your reasons so you can get more clarity and motivation to just do it. As jack Canfield said, know your priorities and identify the five powerful action steps that you intend to take to move your initiative forward each day. So what are some of the moments where you could just grab a book and start reading it? Think about it and act on that. The third tip to read more every single day is to listen to a book audiobooks allow me to gain knowledge by listening to books, while I'm exercising, cleaning on my commute to college, work or any other place, as well as while cooking. If you claim not having time to read, you can always listen to your audiobook while you are in car or waiting for something Another very simple but very efficient tip is to set your audiobooks speed to one point x, or two x speed, most of the readers read very slow, so you won't lose any information by speeding up the audiobook.

By doing this, you can read a book in half of the time. I also use this trick to YouTube videos, podcasts, online courses in many, many other things that uses video as their formats. Even when I'm editing my own online courses. I set the speed to do to edit all those clips much quicker. And then I set them again to the normal speed. Jim Rohn recommended everyone to make their cars their own universities.

Remember your education does not and we agree and so if you listen to books, seminars, podcasts while driving, instead of complaining about the traffic, you are making huge progress So in your own life, you have access to the most brilliant minds in your car. It seems like they were sitting right next to you, talking to you and helping you out. So don't waste that opportunity to use audiobooks to make you progress in your life goals, career or anything else. You can always listen to a book that will help you out with problems in your relationships career, a goal setting in many, many other topics such as business, psychology, the brain, the possibilities are endless when you include audiobooks in your own routine, because that will help you to make the most out of your time to listen to audiobooks, I usually use Audible, which is a subscription based service.

And it allows you to have access to thousands and thousands and thousands of audiobooks. The fourth tip is to actually enjoy reading. If you want to become an avid reader, you have to really enjoy reading and learning. There's a reason why you shouldn't reading about new things and topics will give you the excitement to wake up every day to experience a completely different world. Because you have access to different perspectives, different minds, different ideas that will really improve your life. So cultivating our passion for reading and learning is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves.

Choosing incredible books to read is also a very important factor, and we are going to cover that topic later. The fifth tip is don't wait for the perfect opportunity or time to start reading and cultivating this habit. We all know what it means I will do it someday. It means never. So don't wait for the perfect time to start developing the habit of reading every day. The perfect day to start is today because you already have the momentum to keep going because watching this course the best way to beat procrastination is to just do something.

So pick a book right now. and commit yourself to reading it for one minute, two minutes or five minutes, just that you will start early. You will see that when you actually start reading a good book, you will very much enjoy the whole experience, as Brendon Burchard said, All progress comes from small acts that gather momentum. So no matter how small you start, start something that matter.
