How to Read more Books with a 7 Day Reading Challenge.
This Reading Challenge has the intent of making you read more books than you ever did before. And not reading for reading’s sake, but actually enjoying the books you are reading and taking advantage of each page your eyes pass over.
Hi, I’m Filipa. I am an online course creator, blogger and obsessed with books since I can remember. I am an avid reader, and in the last 5 years, I read more than 250 books, that is, 50 books per year. This is not pure luck or retirement in my early 20’s. This is the combination of a well-defined strategy, discipline and passion for reading.
Each day of the Challenge, there will be something new to learn, with a well-established outcome. That is, you will have a teaching and a practice, so you can better incorporate the teachings in your life as a reader.
You can watch a lesson per day or watch them all at once and take notes on what to do each day. Either way, I highly recommend you grab a notebook or open a digital file and write the key insights of each daily lesson. If you do this, not only will you better absorb what is being taught, but you will also be making progress towards one specific lesson during this challenge, but you will have the opportunity to see that later.
Day 1: you will learn how to find the best books to read. Those are books that will resonate with you and fulfil what you are looking for.
Day 2: you will learn a 3-Step-Formula to develop the habit of reading. It’s crucial to make reading a habit if you are looking to increase the number of books you read.
Day 3: you will learn how to take notes of the books you read. This is particularly useful in non-fiction books, where you read to learn and apply.
Day 4: I will teach you something I’m really excited to share: speed-reading. Speed-Reading is all about maximizing your time, that is, reading more in less time, without sacrificing comprehension.
Day 5: you will be able to leverage the number of books you read.
Day 6: you are going to increase your engagement with reading by sharing!
Day 7: you will learn how to set a reading goal that you will accomplish!
I’m really excited to go through this Reading Challenge with you! And remember, the purpose is to make you take action — that is, completing the daily challenges and taking a step towards your reading intentions.
Thank you very much, and I see you inside the class :)
