You're Reading Books Wrong (A System To Remember Everything You Read)
from The Koe Cast · host Dan Koe
A few tips for reading:- If it doesn't interest you, you probably won't learn anything, so you can drop it.- You're not in a race to finish the book, in fact, the slower the better. Take a year or two to finish if you need to.- You can read multiple books at a time. I often have 3 books and an audiobook that I bounce between. You'd be surprised how many connections you make.- Create a reading ritual. At least 30 minutes every day. Listen to an audiobook on a daily walk, or leave the books you're reading around the house so you can pick them up instead of scroll your phone.––– Tools & Resources –––Kortex signup (the prompt library will be added to your workspace): https://kortex.coThe "my life plan" template: https://app.kortex.co/public/document/883d9246-6dde-4794-9f54-92b8ff07d502My book: http://theartoffocusbook.com2 Hour Writer (writing course): https://2hourwriter.comOne-Person Business Launchpad (beginner business course): https://thedankoe.com/get/opbl––– Free Guides & Mini Courses –––One-Person Business Foundations (free):https://theone-personbusiness.comGenerate Infinite Creative Ideas (free):https://7daystogeniusideas.com13 Brand, Content, & Marketing Trainings (free):https://theone-personbusiness.com/#trainings––– Kortex –––My writing and note-taking app:https://kortex.coThe Kortex Discord:https://discord.gg/kortexThe persuasive thinking template:https://app.kortex.co/public/document/bec7fcec-d76c-4d00-8669-37f53892feadFree second brain course (and community):https://community.kortex.coThe Writer's Bootcamp (now with YouTube strategy):https://bootcamp.kortex.co––– My Products –––My book:http://theartoffocusbook.comOne-Person Business Launchpad:https://thedankoe.com/get/opblMy Idea Museum (write faster):https://thedankoe.com/get/idea-museum2 Hour-Writer (foundational skill):https://2hourwriter.com––– More Content –––The Koe Letter - the written version of this video:https://thedankoe.com/lettersThis podcast was originally a YouTube video: https://youtu.be/0OEtXlPtyYk––– Socials –––Twitter:https://twitter.com/thedankoeInstagram:https://instagram.com/thedankoeYouTube:https://youtube.com/c/DanKoeTalksLinkedIn:https://linkedin.com/in/thedankoe
