Time management is a difficult skill that very few people know how to use. But if you optimize your time correctly, it’s easy to read a lot of books.

Sure, there are loads of excuses as to why you can’t read. Family, work, and other things can make it pretty damn difficult to find time in your schedule. But if you’re genuinely motivated to read more books, you’ll always find a way to make it happen.

Over the past few months, I’ve implemented several strategies that enabled me to read a lot more books. Because of them, I can read upwards of 1,000 pages per day, every day.

Here they are:

Master The Art Of Skimming The Page

Some people like to read every single word that’s written in a book. But in my opinion, that’s a complete waste of time. So, I skim the page in less than five seconds to get the gist of what the author is saying. To do otherwise would mean sacrificing efficiency.

Whenever you read a book, consider implementing this strategy. If it takes approximately five seconds to read one page, you’ll probably be able to read a novel in less than an hour.
