使用下面的這10種方法，我在過去的四年里讀了170多本書，所以我可以負責任地告訴你，這些方法很管用。

1. Always have a book with you.

隨身攜帶圖書。

When you carry a book around with you all the time, it’s less likely that you’ll play with your phone or daydream whenever you’re caught waiting for something.

如果你一直隨身攜帶圖書，當你在等待的時候， 就不會老是玩手機或是做白日夢了。

If you use your waiting time to read, you’ll be able to finish many more books in the long run.

如果你把等待的時間用來閱讀，從長遠來看，你會看完很多書。

2. Set aside time to read every night before you go to bed.

每晚上床睡覺之前，抽出一段時間來閱讀。

10 or 15 minutes of reading before you go to bed is a good way to unwind.

睡覺前看10到15分鐘的書，是放松的好方法。
