I\u2019m just beginning the fifth month of my year-long Foundations project<\/a>.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> The focus for this month is reading. In case you’re interested, here are the previous months\u2019 content:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fitness: Start<\/a>, End<\/a>, Books<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Productivity: Start<\/a>, End<\/a>, Books<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Money: Start<\/a>, End<\/a>, Books<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. Food: Start<\/a>, End<\/a>, Books<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I picked this focus as one of the twelve because I believe a regular habit of reading, particularly from books, is one of the best foundational habits you can have in life. It\u2019s also one that people do less frequently than they used to: most adults read fewer books than they did in decades past, no doubt a trend caused by the rise of smartphones.<\/p>\n

    However, reading books is something I\u2019m fairly good at. I\u2019ve regularly read at least 10 books for each month of this project so far, typically including at least two college-level textbooks for each topic. While my reading volume tends to go up and down depending on my projects, I can easily read a hundred books in a year when such reading is central to my work.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    Therefore, my personal goals for the month will be a little different than the habit I\u2019m encouraging other people to build this month, which is to always have a book. I\u2019ll touch on this general recommendation more at the end of this post, but otherwise I\u2019m focusing here on what I\u2019m doing in the month ahead.<\/p>\n

    Two Goals: Bedtime Reading and Increased Breadth<\/h2>\n

    I have two goals for this month. The first is to get into a regular habit of reading before going to sleep. I do this sometimes, but not consistently. My hope here isn\u2019t to increase my reading volume, rather I want to use the habit to encourage better (and earlier) sleep.<\/p>\n

    I\u2019m not setting a minimum threshold for bedtime reading, since that would quickly become a burden if I stay up later than usual owing to social events. But I think having the habit of reading before sleep, even if only for a minute, will encourage me to wind down faster than looking at a screen.<\/p>\n

    My second goal for the month is to spend more time reading books outside of my usual non-fiction focus. While I enjoy literature and off-topic non-fiction books, they definitely take a back seat when I’m working on a research project. I probably won’t be able to sustain this breadth as I shift to future months, but I will use this month to plan some longer-term reading lists in areas I read less than I\u2019d like.<\/p>\n

    Here are some of the categories of books I\u2019d like to read more of:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Classic literature.<\/strong> Ever since reading Hirsch\u2019s book arguing for cultural literacy, I\u2019ve been encouraged to expand my reading with more classic works of fiction.<\/li>\n
    2. Religious works.<\/strong> I\u2019m not religious, but I think religion is a topic worth reading more of both for its cultural significance and its lessons for everyday life.<\/li>\n
    3. History.<\/strong> I\u2019ve read quite a few biographies, often while researching for my books, but I\u2019m less well-informed about a lot of history on its own. Given that history knowledge tends to be voluminous, I\u2019d like to make some efforts to expand here.<\/li>\n
    4. Books in other languages.<\/strong> I don\u2019t do nearly as much conversation practice in other languages as I used to; it was one of the necessary sacrifices I made to save time when I became a parent. But reading more in the languages I want to maintain is easier to fit in and something I\u2019d like to cultivate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I already have some books in each of these topics, probably more than enough for the month ahead, but I\u2019ll use this month to prepare some longer-term lists, so I\u2019ll have more books to choose from when those initial ideas run out.<\/p>\n

      AHAB: Always Have A Book<\/h2>\n

      The keystone habit I\u2019m encouraging people in my Foundations course<\/a> to cultivate for this month is simpler than my personal goals. It comes from the observation that a major obstacle to reading more is simply not having anything you\u2019re excited to read right now<\/em>.<\/p>\n

      The practice to solve this can be summarized in a simple acronym AHAB, or \u201cAlways Have A Book.\u201d<\/p>\n

      The goal is to have a book you\u2019re interested in reading with you at all times. This doesn\u2019t mean you need to lug around large paperbacks with you everywhere you go. With Kindle and Audible apps, you can now keep an entire library on your smartphone.<\/p>\n

      Setting this up means getting quite a few books\u2014either buying them or borrowing them from a local library.<\/p>\n

      It also means prioritizing books you\u2019re keenly interested in reading. A common mistake people trying to read more make is trying to finish whatever boring book they’ve already started. Then, because they don\u2019t actually want to read it, they spend more time on social media.<\/p>\n

      If you\u2019re already a voluminous reader, you can challenge yourself with harder books. But if you don\u2019t regularly read at least one book per month, I encourage you to build a habit of picking books you enjoy and not feeling even a twinge of guilt about failing to finish any book that no longer interests you.<\/p>\n

      I\u2019ve long practiced the AHAB habit, but even I slip occasionally. I\u2019ll have periods where I have a few paper books, but no Kindle books\u2014which means I check the news on my phone rather than read. Or I don\u2019t have an audiobook I’m listening to\u2014which means I can\u2019t listen to anything other than music or podcasts even if I want to listen to a book.<\/p>\n

      Therefore, as part of my own challenge, I’m aggressively stocking all of my go-to book places, so I have plenty of books ready at my office, nightstand, Kindle app and Audible.<\/p>\n

      As an aside, I\u2019m also hoping to use this month to relax a little bit in the project. The start of the Foundations course<\/a>, plus the research-heavy food<\/a> and money<\/a> months, made my workload a little high over the previous two months. Since I\u2019ve spent the last several years of my life reading books about learning, my reading-about-reading book list will probably be a little lighter this month, and I\u2019ll use that downtime to read or listen to more off-topic books.<\/p>\n

      As always, I\u2019ll share how this focus went for me at the end of the month, as well as some of the books I enjoyed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
