How to Rebuild a Reading Habit (14 Tips)

[@CatherineMarianne]

Audiobook stacking is how I read Woolf's To the Lighthouse... without the audiobook, my eye and mind would wander and much of the stream-of-consciousness prose would just slide off my brain. With the audiobook on as I followed with the text, it was a revelation ... I stayed focused and was blown away by the genius and beauty of it.

I’m a bit late, but thank you for this video! I wasn’t expecting it, but I found it helpful also to get back into drawing (I’m in burnout since graduating art school). I think a lot of these tips are good for a lot of lost habits/hobbies, especially the fourth.

I really like your videos and the tips you give. I recently got back into reading after a rough patch earlier this year (A bad relationship of 5 years) and I was frustrated and angry at myself that I couldn't read like I used to. But I came across you and you are helping and making me understand to be more relaxed and approach reading as something fun to do and not something to dread or fight or beat myself up over. Practice makes progress and I am slowly getting better at reading and understanding the story and noticing my overall mood is much more calm when I put the book down and run my errands. Thank you sir.

I can guess why you get so excited when you walk into a bookshop. Carl Mark said it's commodity fetishism in modern society. I'm just kidding )

[@odysseas__]

Haha I don't feel the need to deny that

Jesus, 14 methods to get back to reading... really? How about opening a book? And reading? If you need more than that, there is something terribly wrong with you.

For some people, it's that obvious, but for others, it doesn''t hurt to have some help. Not every piece of advice is targeted at everyone.

I'm a pretty busy 39 year old with a young child. I try to have different hobbies outside of my boring 9 to 5 that pays the bills. As an adult I've taken up learning things that interested me back when I was younger but I never pursued as a career such as coding and music production and some other things. Also trying to work through the Khan Academy because I feel that Math was my absolute worst subject all throughout school so I would like to learn more of it now as an adult. What is that scheduling software you show at the 0.30 mark of the video? It looks very nice and I would like to explore using it.

I love tip nr 7, it's my first time to hear it. Sounds great and more practical. I love tip nr 8 too, but I don't feel comfortable reading in the public.

[@odysseas__]

Thanks, glad to hear it's something new

[@funkymonkey8777]

Good day sir. Is it better to study in the early morning than the evening time? What’s your opinion about studying then sleep for consolidation? Thanks a lot

[@odysseas__]

Evening sounds good but only if you know you can sustainably keep up focus. Whenever you are most alert is best. And I appreciate it too

[@jesterdejoseph4835]

@@odysseas__ thanks a lot sir.
