Bagaimana mahu membaca lebih banyak buku?
Kami sekeluarga selamat sampai di Kelantan pada hari Awal Muharram tempoh hari. Aku akan kembali ke Shah Alam pada Isnin nanti dan mula bekerja pada hari Selasa. Ummu Adam, Adam dan Alya akan aku tinggalkan di kampung kurang lebih selama sebulan. Membujanglah aku sekejap. Huhu!
Hari ini aku cuma ingin berkongsi satu tulisan dari lifehack.org tentang bagaimana untuk lebih banyak membaca tahun ini.
How to Read More Books This Year
Here are a few tips for boosting the amount of books you can read:
- Speed Read. Speed reading has been attacked by all sorts of people for being fake, compromising understanding or based on junk-science. I think this is based on the misconception that speed-reading is all about a magical technique that allows you to blur through pages, rather than plain, common-sense habits to make reading faster. There are entire books on speed reading, but here are a few tips that have stuck with me since I first learned to speed read a few years ago:
- Use a pointer. Run your index finger beneath the text on the page. This keeps your eyes focused on a specific point on the page. After a week or two of adapting to using your finger, this can boost your reading rate considerably.
- Practice read. Practice reading means “reading” slightly faster than you can actually comprehend. While you won’t get any new information from practice reading, this trains you to read without needing to subvocalize (repeat the words in your head).
- Start a Morning Ritual. Recently I decided to set aside time for reading each morning. Following when I wake up at 5:30, I read for an hour and a half. This lets me squeeze in reading time on a schedule that would otherwise be too busy during the day. Even if you can only devote 15-30 minutes of reading each morning you can read 20-30 books each year.
- One Book at a Time. Trying to multi-task between books is wasting your time. My rule is that I should continue reading one book until I finish it, or decide to quit it entirely. Putting one book on hold to start another just crowds your to-do list.
- Carry a Book With You. If you plan on going anywhere, keep a book with you and you can read if you are forced to wait. Throughout your day there are probably many moments where you have to wait for a few minutes in lines, during breaks or when traveling. Having a book with you means those moments aren’t wasted.
- Audio Books. Most popular books have audio versions. While the audio versions are more expensive (use the library), you can have something to play in your car when you are driving or in your iPod when walking around.
Aku tidak pasti yang no. 3 dan no. 5. Aku biasanya membaca lebih dari sebuah buku pada satu masa. Dan aku tidak pernah mencuba Buku Audio. Tak berminat pun!
Jiwa Rasa juga berazam untuk menulis petua-petua tentang buku beliau. Dan Bibliobibuli cabar baca sebuah buku seminggu. 52 buku setahun, ada berani?
