I read every day last year – here’s how you can do the same in 2023
Every so often I undertake the morbid exercise of calculating how many books I’ll read before I die. It’s impossible to know how long I have left. That key variable is only marginally under my control. I’m pushing 40 years old, so let’s say I’m roughly halfway done my reading journey. Forty years down, forty years to go.
Some books are long, some are short. Some books require deep focus, some can be read while ignoring an online meeting. Some books you’ll tear through, some you’ll abandon. The aim is to spend time reading. The number of books read is a function of time spent turning pages. Fifty minutes of daily reading is manageable for me, especially since I split it into chunks: one in the morning and one before bed, each running for about the length of a sitcom. I figured that by reading 50 minutes a day on average – 18,250 minutes a year, or just more than 300 hours – I’d get through between 50 and 60 books at 63 pages an hour, my 2021 reading pace.Most apps are clutter for me. I download them and never use them. Some, however, change my life. It’s a cliché.
