25 minutes<\/strong> reading daily is enough to read 30 books per year.<\/p>\n In this blog post I’m going to show you a simple math behind reading 30 books per year, so read on.<\/p>\n Do you know what’s the average number of books that people read per year?<\/p>\n Google says<\/a> it’s about 4<\/strong> books per year. I bet you know a lot of people that actually read closer to 0 ?<\/p>\n Anyways, here’s a simple math behind reading 50% more than the average, so 6 books per year.<\/p>\n Would you agree that spending 5 minutes<\/strong> on reading per day is really not much of a time investment?<\/p>\n Great.<\/p>\n And, would you agree that in those 5 minutes you could (on average, depending on the book) read 5 pages?<\/p>\n Great.<\/p>\n Except that 5 pages is not that much, right? It’s actually negligibly small number.<\/p>\n As with anything worthwhile in life, what if you decide to extrapolate that on a longer period and read those 5 pages per day for a whole month?<\/p>\n That’s 5 * 30 = 150 pages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Again, not much, right?<\/p>\n According to this blog post, there are 240 pages<\/a> in a typical mainstream novel.<\/p>\n Again, to make our math simpler, and to not take the lower number, let’s say a typical book is 300 pages<\/strong> long.<\/p>\n If you continue your pace of reading 5 pages per day, and manage to do it for a whole year, you’ll end up with reading 6 whole books<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Yes, by just spending 5 minutes per day on reading, you could easily read 50% more books than people do on average.<\/p>\n If you start with 5 pages a day, and you maintain that for a month, I can promise you that you’ll end up doing more and loving the process. Not just because you’ll become a faster reader, but also because you’ll fall in love with the process and you’ll want to increase these 5 minutes to more.<\/p>\n So now, how do we get to those magical 30 books per year?<\/p>\n Well, if with 5 minutes per day we can get 6 books per year, then we need to increase the number of minutes 5 fold to get to 30 books.<\/p>\n Yes, believe it or not, 25 minutes per day is all you need. Funnily enough, that equals one Pomodoro.<\/p>\n So imagine, how better off could you be after those 30 books in a year? How many new ideas could you get from those 30 books? I’d argue, a lot. But, don’t just read, implement what you read as well!<\/p>\n Give it a go, it’s a small-time investment that (for starters) you can even do while on the toilet (what!?, you’re either way staring at your phone, right? ?).<\/p>\n All of a sudden, you’ll be a reader – and go figure, with just 5 minutes per day ?<\/p>\n The math behind reading 30 #books<\/a> per year https:\/\/t.co\/YfL4y5HKZ7<\/a><\/p>\n — Nikola Bre\u017enjak (@HitmanHR) October 22, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nFacts<\/h2>\n
