Step1: Start small。
If you don’t have time to read, you’re probably not going to wake up tomorrow and knock out 150 pages. Try reading for 15 minutes before you go to sleep, or reserve part of your lunch break for reading time. Whatever reading time you decide on, though, stick to it。
从点滴开始
如果你没有时间读书,你是不可能在某天早晨醒来以后突然读完150页书的。试着从每天睡觉前读15分钟,或者午餐休息时读一会儿开始。什么时间读并不重要,重要的是一旦决定了就要坚持下去。
Step 2: Make reading fit your schedule。
On the road a lot? Listen to audio books instead of the radio. Constant traveler? Invest in an e-reader so you can take plenty of reading material with you, even when packing light。
把读书排入日程表
经常开车?那么就用听电子书代替听收音机吧。经常出差?那么就买个电子阅读器吧,它可以收纳大量阅读材料同时保持行囊的轻便。
Step 3: Decide what you want to read。
Do you want to read the classics? Are the new novels that are getting reviewed and talked about more your style? Or are you hoping to increase your knowledge about something, like Web programming, a foreign language, or modern art? Having a focus for your reading can help keep you from getting overwhelmed。
发现你的兴趣
你喜欢读经典名著,还是畅销小说?或者你想学编程?学一门外语?了解现代艺术?发现自己感兴趣的领域可以避免漫无目的的阅读。
Step 4: Don’t be a slave to The List。
While having a focus is important, don’t shut yourself off to everything else, or reading may seem more like an assignment than a pleasure activity. If you’re brushing up on the classics and a newly published novel catches your eye, read it! You can make some great discoveries by trusting your own taste。
不要轻信书单
虽然有所专注很重要,但是也不要将其他书统统拒之门外。不然读书就更像是完成任务而不是一种享受了。如果有一本书抓住了你的眼球,就去读吧!有时候相信自己的品味会有不错的发现哦。
Step 5: Minimize distraction。
Find a quiet place. Disconnect from electronics, and avoid surrounding yourself with other people. They won’t mind. You can tell them all about the great novel you found later. For now, let yourself sink into the story。
减少干扰
找一个安静的地方。关掉各种通讯设备,逃离人群,静静的沉浸在故事中。你可以读完之后再去和大家分享。
Step 6: Note your progress。
Jot down the books you finish in a notebook. Writing something down about what you read, even if it’s only the title and author, will help you remember it longer and provide you with an accurate record of how close you are to reaching your goal。
记录自己的进度
把自己读过的书记录在一个本子上,即使只是写下书名和作者,也会让你更久的保持对一本书的记忆。另外这个清单能让你知道自己离目标还有多远。
Step 7: Spread the word!
One of the best things about being better read is that you’ve got more to share in conversation. Try writing a book review on your blog, or joining a book club. Who knows? You may inspire someone else to curl up with a good book, too。
多多分享
如果你在谈话时有了更多能与别人分享的东西,就证明你的阅读技能提高了。试着在你的博客上写写书评,或者加入一个阅读俱乐部。谁知道呢,也许你的分享就能成为别人翻开一本好书的理由。
