Which is easy, Reading a book or watching your favorite movie?
Indeed, it’s the movie! But do you know, you are feeding your brain the wrong task to make it work slowly? Yes, you read that right.
We unintentionally train our brain to step down from its basic working capacity by choosing the easiest tasks, releasing the dopamine every time the easiest task is done. When it comes to reading, we find it difficult or feel lazy because there is no dopamine release from the brain and one already thinks it’s difficult. Well, how do we resolve this? Are there ways to reset the clock and inculcate the reading habit? Read the details below to become an effective reader with few simple steps.
1. Read regularly
It is crucial to keep the reading habit regular for two reasons. One, when you help yourself in scheduling your reading, you dedicate a portion of your day to reading. Two, being consistent in reading later becomes part of your routine and later lifestyle. Thus it is important to read at least 2-3 pages a day.
2. Set a goal
We all know the importance of setting a goal, be it big or small, it helps us to work efficiently with our maximum potential towards it. We divide it into small portions. Similarly, it is important to set goals for reading as well. Keep it feasible.
3. Reward yourself
Rewarding is the key to motivation and achieving more goals. You can buy yourself what you like, or buy the next book you want to read or simply you can take a break as a reward.
4. Choose different genres
To keep up the pace of reading, it is significant to pick a book from various genres. It helps the reader to stay fascinated and get through book hangovers. Both are equally vital for a reader to be consistent in reading.
5. Enroll yourself in a book club
If you find it very difficult to stay motivated by yourself to read or even to choose a book, enroll yourself in a book club. These clubs have a schedule in completing the selected reads and make you accountable for reading a book. When you have a community that shares, discusses, and encourages one another to become an efficient reader, you will be a consistent efficient reader.
6. Set your reading nook
To feel comfortable and stay focused on the book one should dedicate a space that would be the right ambiance to dive into a different realm. It is the best way to relax as well.
