How to get the most out of reading

I’m assuming you don’t have the time to devote 80% of your day to reading the way Warren Buffett does.

 

So how do you make the most of the limited time you have to read?

Here’s the system I’ve been using and have found to be extremely effective;

 

Read 1 book every 2 weeks:

o Average book I read is 300 pages

o Reading speed is 1 page per minute

o Read 22 pages per day

o Take notes and highlight key points

 

Review 1 hour every other Sunday:

o Review the notes and key points you highlighted

o Transfer those notes into Evernote for future reference

o Take 1 day during Christmas / New Years Break to Review your favorite books from the year

 

Repeat:

o Repeat and stay committed

o Read 26 Books / Year

o Review is crucial

 

The key is to make reading 20 – 25 minutes per day a habit. From there, reviewing the information you took in is essential to implementation. We forget 80% of the information we take in within a 48 hour time period. Take notes, highlight key points, review, and implement!

Thanks for sharing this, Brandin! The best business people and leaders -- no matter the industry -- make sure they take time to read. I like the way you've broken it down here. I try to make it a point to read every single day. If I'm exhausted and my eyes just won't stay open at the end of the day, I may read a single paragraph -- just as long as I read!
