Reading Tip:

• Book O' Clock

Designate a specific period of time that belongs solely to reading books.

Here's how to apply it

In life, when there's an interaction we want to do, we schedule a specific time for it:

• 7 am workout with a trainer
• 4 pm meeting with a coworker
• 7 pm hangout session with friends

So why not do the same for reading?

Schedule a specific time to read every day.

It could be as short as 15 minutes or as long as an hour (if you want to read more go for it).

The key is to block off a period of time where the sole purpose of that time is to do one thing–READ.

Take this exercise seriously.

Pick a time right now (start by blocking off 15 minutes) and add it to your calendar.

If you think you may forget, set a reminder for it.

Here's my Book O' Clock time:

I usually go to bed at 11:30pm-12am.

Starting today 11pm will be my Book O' Clock time.

Meaning I'll read every night (except Fri/Sat) for at least 30 minutes.

I set a reminder on my phone to go off at 11pm to tell me to put my phone on airplane mode & turn off the wifi.

Since my phone & laptop will be off, the chances of me getting distracted or something interrupting my reading time will be almost zero.

Plus, reading is a great way to wind down for the night and relax before going to bed.
