A&B: A Better Reading Challenge for 2021
Hey everyone,
(This is a special edition of the newsletter so I'll keep it short & sweet)
2021 starts tomorrow and I'm sure a lot of people have made "read more books" as one of their New Year's resolution.BUT...please don't do the 52 book challenge. 🛑I completed the 52 book challenge this year and discovered it's filled with a ton of bad incentives. Such as:
Punishing people for reading long books
Encouraging quantity reading over quality reading
Forcing people to finish books they don't enjoy so that they can count it as read
Not rewarding people for reflecting on what they've read or taking action on the lessons they've learned
(more about why you
SHOULDN'T
do the 52 book challenge
)
INSTEAD, try the 25 x 250 reading challenge. ✅
Simply put: Spend 25 minutes a day reading, learning, or growing, for 250 days out of the year.
Reading: Reading, listening to an audiobook, rereading a book, etc.
Learning: Taking notes, writing summaries of a book, etc.
Growing: Applying the advice from the lessons you’ve learned, completing exercises from books, etc.
