How to read

How you and me read at work is wrong. And there's a cure.

Why it matters

• As knowledge workers, we need to read a lot.
• We do not have a strategy what and how to read.
• We quit due to too much info.
• We want to read everything, we skim, we get lost, we forget everything.

The Cure

• Dedicate timeboxes to reading
• Read about things that we have no idea about yet
• Read a lot less
• Read slowly and think
• Read long form mainly
• Make notes, not just highlights
• Stop reading when it does not feel right any longer
