In this episode, I talk about how I built my "reading muscles" to read 105 books in 2017. I suggest two methods which are having a daily "pages" or "time" reading goal. For example, read 1 page in the morning and one page in the evening. The same with a time goal where you read 5 minutes in the morning then 5 minutes in the afternoon. Once you feel comfortable with your goal keep adding more pages or time so you keep building those "reading muscles." In the beginning, I suggest reading 200 pages or less entertaining books or books on subjects that you are very interested in. Then start reading more books with over 200 pages on subjects you or interested in but not really familiar with. -My 2017 stats: http://bit.ly/2r3WTOp -2018 Reading Challange: http://bit.ly/2DdJDeZ -Want To Read List: http://bit.ly/2EJ27RD -Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Db7DQx -Twitter: http://bit.ly/2EFLPJ2 -Facebook: http://bit.ly/2DfYDZH --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/anotherweekinthebooks/support
