Having trouble concentrating on your reading? Try reading using the Pomodoro method.

📚Set a countdown timer for 25 minutes and start reading without any distractions. The first five minutes will be very difficult. But then your brain will sink into a state of flux, your thoughts will tune in to the rhythm of the text, and you'll float along the waves of the story without difficulty.

But any advice from this book will be valuable only if you do not sit idly by and act. Take action!

Is it really harmful to read in transport?

Every day we spend at least two hours on the road and we want to be entertained. We flip through our smartphones or carry a book with us. But since childhood we were warned that reading in moving transport is not allowed, because the trip is accompanied by shaking.

And of course the transport is often not enough light. So take care of yourself and the health of your eyes: listen to music or audiobooks. And to read at home, arrange a cozy place.

Which book to choose: electronic or paper?

The abundance of smartphones and tablets is affecting the loss of interest in paper books. And it is true - instead of cramming shelves at home or backpacking on the road, it is much easier to download dozens of books to a small device that is always with you.

E-books are more accessible, but the information from them is less digestible to the brain than the same text read on paper. This is the conclusion more and more scientists are coming to.

Why does an e-book get forgotten faster? It's all in our perception: the brain receives a lot of new information every day, and in order to keep the necessary information, various "anchors" are used.

In the case of paper, these "anchors" are just tangible factors: the cover, the buying process or a note in the margin in pencil.

E-books, on the other hand, are essentially a faceless set of characters that have no "markers" to ensure that the information received stays in the mind for a long time. But in the struggle for convenience and compactness they win.

Whichever book you choose, the main thing is to read and have fun. Enjoy reading!

How to read regularly?
Reading can be seen not only as an intellectual exercise, but also as a mechanical process. So it is a skill that can be practiced!
To start, limit yourself to twenty minutes a day. Treat the process as a lesson and gradually increase the duration of the "lesson. You'll see, pretty soon even large works of art will cease to scare you with their size.
