Reading for Significant Impact

[Rasheed]

 How long to read per day, to create a significant impact?

@Rasheed 2-3 hours. About 72.5 pages a day, which is 500 a week. 5000 in ten weeks. 26 000 in a year. If one book is 200 pages that equals 130 books a year. 130 quality books on lots of different, but relevant subjects (based on whatever value systems you have). That is probably going to change how you view the world.

What do you mean with impact?

 By significant impact I meant, to actually meant a real impactful growth...

 What's better: 2 hours of reading vs. 1 hour of reading + 1 hour of actively watching and taking notes on personal development videos? 

 Should I leave personal development videos and only focus on books, or both is better? What's your opinion that?

I don’t look at the hours i read rather i look at the number of pages i read because if i read a specific amount of pages per day I can know with confidence that I will finish a book each week. For example to get the number of pages i read each day to read a book a week is to divide the total pages with 7 and then i just have to read that amount of pages each day to read a book a week.

@Rasheed Both are really good. But if you are reading a lot of relevant inoformation and highlight that, you probably don't need to take notes on most videos. I only take notes if there's like a food recipe or specific kind of technique talked about (shamanic breathing). Which is rare. I remember I would take a crazy amount of notes, but it's mostly a waste of time. Reflecting over the content can be beneficial.

Thanks. I like to take notes videos because after I am done, I review those notes again couple times, and it helps me to apply information more efficiently.

Thank you. I will try that. Great idea.
