🥊 Mentorship Minute: Your Book Reading Goals for 2020

✅ Join Us In The Virtual Python Community ➡️➡️  https://virtualpythonmeetup.com How much do you like to read each day?  Statistica shows that the average American's daily reading is about 15 minutes per day.  They also show that 75% of Americans finish the book. I am not trying to lecture here. I enjoy reading because of how it has helped me grow, so I wanted to share this info with you. I highly recommend reading books on a subject that will help you grow your strengths.  If you want to get a deeper understanding of the content, consider creating content around the learning nuggets that you collect. The last step in the internalization equation would be to teach the material then.  If you need some ideas for how to do this, consider making a podcast or blog.  If you have ever wanted to be a content creator but felt it would be hard to be prolific, consider integrating reading as a core daily habit. Not all books are created equal.  I would recommend to orient the books you read towards the areas in your life you want to get a more in-depth learning experience.  Seek out books that have reviews that show the content has practical and actionable content. Audiobooks are another cool way to download the content into your brain.  Be careful with audiobooks, though, because it can be easy to veg out a possibly becoming a waste of your precious time.  Also, I would personally advise against listening to the books  at 3X speed.  If you want to practice patience, consider slowing it down lower than 1X.  You don't need to consume a book a day to get the impact you seek from the material. Whatever you chose to do, make sure to allocate time to internalize the information by implementing it into your life. What is your reading plan going into 2020?  Tweet @pypodcast to report your reading adventures. I look forward to learning from your experience.
