Get The Most Out Of Your Books

How do you get the most out of the time and money you invest in books? For me, I try to optimise my learnings. Many of us are so busy looking for the next concept or idea, that we forget that we have not used the ones we've already learned. The same is true of books. So here’s what you might think about doing. Set aside a bookcase of your best books, the best 20 or maybe 50. Then each month revisit one of the best out of that bookshelf. I've started doing it this year, and I've been surprised to find learnings highlighted in the books that were never executed. Sometimes when you read a passage, the timing was just not right, but by the second or third time around it's gold. Set a target to re-read one of your best passages or books each month. It’s a good way to maximise your investment in time, learning, and dollars. © GB
