How to form a good habit of reading?

I received several private messages from fans backstage, saying that I haven't read since I graduated from school. Recently, I found that people around me are reading books, and I want to learn some methods from books and apply them to my work. However, when I reopened these books, I realized that I couldn't read them. It's hard to concentrate. I know every word, but it's hard to understand when put together. Listen, I've been reading. Ask me what I should do to cultivate the habit of reading again.

I started studying again four years ago. At first, the situation was similar to his. I didn't understand it either. I haven't touched the book since graduation. At that time, I naively thought that after I came out of school, I would never have to read again. Later, I was rubbed on the ground and realized that if I want to grow up and do better than others, I must keep learning. Reading is the most cost-effective way to improve yourself. Next, I will talk about how to cultivate reading habits based on my own reading experience.

First of all, when I say reading, I don't mean recreational books. These books just let us pass the time, and it is difficult for ordinary people to learn anything from them. Because in order to attract people, they are generally amazing. These stories are exciting at first glance, but they make people ignore the relationship between stories and people, which leads us to pay attention to stories and learn nothing else.

1. Read the books you are interested in first.

Many people read books to solve problems. However, at first, they couldn't describe the problem clearly and didn't know what kind of books to read. At this time, you can start with the books you are interested in.

These books also mention related books, or the author just attaches a list of books at the end of the book. After reading the book you are interested in, you can follow this clue and continue reading other books.

Because I am interested, I will only concentrate on solving problems, and it doesn't seem boring.

Start with your own problems.

As I said before, many people read books to solve problems. After cultivating reading habits through step 1, we can express our own problems in words and turn them into specific problems, and then look for relevant books accordingly.

For example, if you are upset and can't think, you can search for some books that "improve your thinking ability". Every platform has such a list, and we can choose the top one.

Read history books

Some people may say, I'm fine, and I don't know what I'm interested in. What books should I read? I suggest reading history books.

Why do you want to read history books? History books are a summary of people's past experience. By reading history books, we can understand the growth history of a group or a character. On the other hand, reading history books can make us understand that what a person once cared about is a drop in the ocean after thousands of years, so there is no need to care too much.

If you can't understand simple history books at first, you can start with biographies of celebrities. This kind of books can relate the historical years through celebrity events, and can also understand the major events of his dynasty. Because the biography is based on the life of the character and interspersed with his interesting stories, it doesn't look boring.

4. Read books to educate children

Having children is a foregone conclusion that many people can't escape. In fact, we have also made a lot of growth in the process of raising children. If you are not interested in the above books, you can also read parenting books.

For example, if you are a parent of a primary school student, you can read some books on how to cultivate a child's good habits and help him develop good habits in life and study. You can also read thinking books during the intermission to inspire children's thinking; Or a parent-child reading club. Don't underestimate parent-child reading. In this process, if you reread fairy tales with the eyes of adults, there will be many different gains.

When I was reading with my children recently, I found many details that I hadn't noticed before. I found this book really lively and interesting, which can attract children to read actively, and is very suitable for cultivating children's reading interest and reading pictures and writing. For writers, there is also a lot to learn, which I didn't find when I was a child.

Read bestsellers

The best sellers here refer to those classic best sellers. They have stood the test of time and can enhance our cognition. The content is told in the form of stories, and we can also read them.

There are many classics, so don't think that what happened hundreds of years ago is of little significance to the present, and the way of treating people inside is worth learning and learning from. Even the scene description in the book is worth learning for those who learn to write.

Knowing where to start, you can form the habit of reading and go on.
