\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to the National Energy Research and Technology Data Center, there are 62 billion Internet users in the world. With so many people using the internet, it\u2019s not surprising that there\u2019s a demand for new ways of processing information. The use of books has been around for thousands of years and is still being utilized for a variety of purposes. In fact, research shows that 42% of Americans own at least one book as a resource when they\u2019re trying to learn more about a subject. Even though we know that reading can be beneficial for our mental health (and, therefore, our wallets), we also know that reading many books can be difficult. For some people who struggle to concentrate or who find it difficult to put down a book, it can be easier if they\u2019re given the task of reading chapters in order rather than trying to finish whole books by themselves. This will also give them the opportunity to practice their concentration skills and hone their memory while keeping them occupied. If you\u2019re looking to find your special way of reading, here are 5 tips that will help you achieve your personal reading goals.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Set up a routine<\/strong><\/p>\n Before you start reading a book, get to work setting up your routine so that you can focus more on what you\u2019re interested in instead of dwelling on the details that won\u2019t interest you in the end. For example, if you\u2019re a wine drinker, make an effort to drink a bottle of wine at least two or three times a week. Doing so not only keeps your body healthy, but it also gives you more time to think about the book and its characters. Also, don\u2019t Forget to Take Risks! If you\u2019re truly interested in a certain book, start reading it. Even if you don\u2019t like the book, you\u2019re going to want to familiarize yourself with the characters and the world in which they live. This will give you more insight into the story, characters, and world-building in the final book.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Set aside a while before you start<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to get overwhelmed by the many books that are available to read. If you find that you\u2019re prone to getting bogged down in too many books at once, it can be a real hassle to get through all of them. Try to find a time that\u2019s OK with your busy schedule. Perhaps you have a family or other priorities that have you on the minds of other people. If you find that it\u2019s not the right time, talk to your best friend or family member who will support your decision.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Find the book that\u2019s right for you<\/strong><\/p>\n Although the majority of books will work for anyone, some authors believe that certain books are more suitable for certain audiences. Therefore, it\u2019s helpful to know a little about the intended audience of a particular book. For example, if you\u2019re looking for books that are easy to read, consider looking into the general Audible audience. There are many, many different audiences that can be attracted to books, and it\u2019s helpful to know what one is. Also, make sure to familiarize yourself with the types of books that are available to purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Try to read in order<\/strong><\/p>\n Many people find it difficult to break the, \u201cI want to read this in one sitting,\u201d mentality that develops when reading a large number of books in one day. However, in addition to being able to process a relatively small number of books at a time, you should also be aware of your general ability to process information quickly. Depending on your individual speed, you may need to slow down or even stop reading a certain book in order to process all the information contained within the book. For example, if you\u2019re generally slow to process information, consider reading books in groups. Also, consider reading books at different stages of development so that you don\u2019t get stuck in a rut of reading the same book over and over again.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Read and take notes for a better understanding<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the best things about books is that they can be both a source of information and reminders. While they may not have the depth or significance that reading a novel can transport you to, they can also be a great way to learn more about yourself, or better yet, your kids. Books can be a great type of reminder as well. Knowing that you can refer to certain pages or characters in a future reading will help you focus more on the information being read.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n Reading can be a very promoteuric activity. It is also great for your mental well-being. It has been shown to improve concentration, prevent anxiety, and even boost your resistance to illness. My advice is this: Read as much as possible. Whether you\u2019re a new reader or you\u2019ve been in the business for a while, the more books you read, the more you\u2019ll be able to solidify your knowledge and understand the world better. If you\u2019ve found that reading is tricky, try one of the ways that I mentioned above. Set up a routine, drink a bottle of wine at least two or three times a week, and try to read in order.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tip #40: Be a ReaderHow to Use Books to Find Your Power \u00a0 According to the National Energy Research and Technology Data Center, there are 62 billion Internet users in the world.
