Ironically, I read a lot. But I love to read a single book at a time. It keeps continuity better when you don't have to try to remember what was going on. I also don't speed read, just go at my own pace. Its takes fun out if you have to read it fast (unless it goes quickly because you're really enjoying it).

Ok, now that I finished the comment I see it's quite long and I just want to clarify beforehand that it's not ment as any attack on you or claiming your statement to be wrong, people are different, and I were just trying to explain my brain and got a bit carried away trying to explain and list statistics. Still gonna publish the comment though, just wanna make clear that I'm not here to argue, just offer a different perspective. I actually can't keep track of several books or shows. Not in a meaningful way at least. I've tried having several books going on at once, but what happens every single time is I switch books to something I think will suit my mood better, then never go back to the one I left, even if it was a book I really enjoyed. If I need a change of pace again, even if that book I left might've scratched that itch, I'm picking yet another book up, and never going back. I keep them on a shelf next to my bed with bookmarks in them, but I never go back, and if I go back, even if it's just been a few weeks, I find I have trouble remembering what I was reading and getting lost and loosing interest in that book because of it. I've been stuck on page 424 in a Clash of Kings since summer 2017, page 166 in American Pastoral since november 2020, page 64 in Wide Sargasso Sea since January 2021, page 74 in The Book of Three since March 2021, page 192 of Assassins Apprentice since May 2021, page 37 of The Sapphire Rose since summer 2021 and page 53 in a Swedish book since February 2022, but since 2017, when I left Clash of Kings I've read 49 novels, 12 stage plays, 37 short stories (some several times that is not included in the count) and 29 manga volumes, all of them pieces I could finish without switching to something else. And I work the same way with TV-shows. I can keep a couple of sitcoms going at the same time, but mostly because I don't have to remember a whole lot about them. Still I took a break from Friends halfway through season 6 to watch something else, and haven't returned since, and that was 2018. I watched some of Netflix's Riverdale a few years ago, but then Switched to Stranger Things season 3 when that came out, and I've only watched 1 or 2 episodes of Riverdale since, and I just felt lost, even though it had only been a couple of weeks. Other shows I've "taken a break from" (not continued in several years because I started watching something else) include. The 100, Wynona Earp, The Dragon Prince, Kim Possible, Avatar the Last Airbender, Cardcaptor Sakura, The Seven Deadly Sins, Little Witch Academia, Madalorian and Star Wars Clone Wars. I usually avoid getting into series because of this, preferring movies that I can consume all of in one sitting. And I know it sound like I have really bad memory, but I don't think I do. I can remember loads of tiny details from books I read 10+ years ago and haven't re-read at all. I can sometimes even remember if a quote was on a left or right page or at the top or bottom. I've watched book tubers talk about some books I haven't read in ages and they will quote something and despite them having read it recently and me not for many years I can tell that they are paraphrasing, and be right when I look it up.I'm watching a lot of Super Carlin Brothers and when they are taking Harry Potter quizzes I can remember the circumstances behind 90% of the questions, and often times, they, who keep being knowelegable about Harry Potter as a job and claim to re-read them constantly can't. Sure I've read Harry Potter several times, but between my latest Audiobook listen this winter and the time before that was several years, in which I still kept up my knowledge. Similarly I can quote movies I've only seen once several years ago, I can even remember most of what happens in Riverdale season 1 and 2, since I finished those before Stranger Things season 3 came out and I left it, but I couldn't tell you much about what happens in season 3, even though I know I finished that, but broken up in two parts on either side of ST. It's like my brain can process and store the information if I don't consume the media in one go (not one sitting, but uninterrupted by other books/series), but once I've done that it's quite well stored.

The best solution is meditation and to quit scrolling, but I doubt many will do this since most people are too lazy and addicted

For me it was just switching to mostly audiobooks that really helped. Stopping to read a physical book is very time consuming, and that was the biggest factor for me not being able to read as much as I wanted. I know some people just really like reading physical books, and many education based books are better physical, but if I'm just going through the latest fantasy book series I can just listen to it while I'm going about my daily routine. It makes car rides way more fun and keeps me sane while doing tedious tasks at work or for school. I don't take notes, I just let the story carry me along with it. That also means I can get through the "boring parts" easily as the narrator keeps going whether I like it or not.

Speed-reading; reading without retaining or analysing, without absorbing or experiencing the text, or speedily *not* reading at all. To each their own I suppose, but speed reading was always a farce to me. It has its place in legal roles, or other jobs laden with bureaucracy, but if you want to enjoy the experience or really learn material- I’d avoid “speed reading” like the plague. It’s a fast way of wasting your time scanning your eyes across paper, and a horribly slow way to actually take anything from the process. Sure, you can probably enter a flow-state or one of heightened concentration, in which your retention rate is the same for an increased rate of lines read, but how long can you sustain this for? And is this a way to gloss over the minutiae that are crucial for either literary escapism or intellectual divestment? I think so.

For a long time, I resisted reading multiple books at the same time for the reasons you shared-the groundless fear that I'll lose the threads-but also some notion that if I read multiple books that the least interesting book will not get read. Having written that out, I find I have to ask myself, "Why would that be a bad thing?" (In spite of my efforts, I am reading two books at present. Time to stop resisting that urge, perhaps.) Related: I watch all educational videos (including yours) at double speed. It took a while to train my ear to understand at that rate, but now even fast speakers are perfectly intelligible (providing they are intelligible at normal speed). Even audiobooks-both fiction and non-fiction-are now at 1.75x.

Sometimes I do this because the book I'm reading is really dense with ideas, and it helps me process my interpretation of those ideas, but other times it's like I'm just compulsively saving information that needn't be saved. I'm really on the fence about whether note taking is advantageous to me because it heavily slows down the process but also enriches the amount of detail I glean from the book 😬

Like I have to reread the pages over and over again until I'm able to collect the information from the text. However, there are days when I'm able to understand the book I'm reading, but some days I can't seem to understand.

I liked this video because you opened my eyes to some of the blockages I have with reading. But I'd like to add some minor criticism. You should try to speak slower in my opinion. I know you're trying to convey a lot of information but you could also split the video into two parts to use your content more efficiently.

Why is everyone obsessed with speed? How can one possibly retain or enjoy a book if you read 12 books a week?

I've always been a one book at a time reader. But now I listen to and audio book and read one book. I've noticed I'm able to do something I've rarely been able to do. Binge a series. Maybe it's time to try out reading more than one book to help me continuously read a series or two.

What do you mean by "bad" book. And furthermore, what is the purpose/ gain in that? And how do you know, one is bad and the other good, if you haven't yourself already read either?

yea I feel like these tips are mostly for nonfiction books. Also I feel that fiction readers will kind of always read more because we read in series where the typical number is three but then you have series with twelve books or maybe there are just four but each has 700 pages. Which isnt the standard in the non fiction books :D.

It's not mistakes, it's just a way to be more efficient and personally there isn't any sense to try to read more than anyone else. I appreciate a book because it's not a choice in a multitude of others and I don't force myself to read just because I have to, I read because I want to. For me it's the only way to truly appreciate a book. Same for annoting I don't do it to make sense. I do it because I feel more connected to the story and just because why not, I like it after all ! I know everyone have their own ways to do things but I don't think the points of the video are mistakes, their are just a good way if you just want to fill your book shelf.

My thing for how many books your read at a time is that it's a personal preference and also depends on your mood like most of the time I don't read multiple books at a time I stick to one but some weeks I will read 3 books at a time and switch between them depending on what sounds interesting. There isn't really a right or wrong way to read as long as it makes you happy

I am not a speed reader, I took the advice of Ryan Holiday. But if you want to finish the book fast what you need is spend more time reading. If you read 30 minutes a day, try to elevate it to 1 hour, you can block it whether in morning and afternoon or just extending your previous reading time. This is a good video, when I started reading and making it a daily habit. I feel the same about that mood thing or uninterested thing, I'm thinking of reading 2 books with different genres at a time, it will make me interested and have that "looking forward" mood or approach, because she is right sometimes the type of book that you read will not suit your tone or mind sometimes specially if that books is very technical and complex.

May I ask about your note-taking technique? Do you usually take notes immediately when you find some intriguing points or after finishing a whole part/chapter? I found it hard to take things down right away since it interrupted my reading flow. On the other hand, I'm too lazy to re-read and pick up those highlighting points 😂

I guess I read a lot but I don't re-read, I just can't. That might be because I'm only 19 (it's my theory) but I've tried re-reading WoT and LoTr but every time I try all the details I thought I had forgotten come back to me so after 2-3 chapters I remember the majority of everything which makes it quite boring. So I've decided to wait until after university and stuff or atleast a couple of years to give myself the opportunity to forget stuff before starting a re-read. Although I have started the Dune saga again now after 3 years (I read it when I was 16) and it's really quite enjoyable once again.

I personally don’t agree with re-reading books. I have limited time on this earth and over 2000 books on my to-read list. Every book I re-read is a new book I will not read, which goes against my reading philosophy. No shade for those who disagree, every person reads for different purposes.

If I really like a book, I'll re-read it over and over again, but it's hard for me to find books that really pique my interest anymore. Too much seems like same old, same old. Instead I've started writing my own stories. I won't claim that my writing is good, but it feels satisfying to me.

I look at it this way; you don't only follow one TV show at a time. For example people watched Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul and Men at the same time. This is no different than reading three books simultaneously.

I may sound like an old fart but it's a pretty sad world if people need special techniques in order to get motivated to read... If you love reading, you will do it anyway. If you don't, well, I don't think forcing oneself into it would work. So developing one's love for reading should come first and foremost.
