Last year, I started using the Slow Reading method. To my surprise, it worked better than I expected.
Compared to my usual fast-paced reading, it gave me some real benefits:
– I could focus on the book better.
– I remembered more.
– I enjoyed reading more.
Here’s how Slow Reading works:
- First rule: enjoy it.
Reading should feel like a treat, not a to-do list.
📖 Pick a book you’re curious about.
🛋️ Sit in a cozy spot.
🎧 Play music you love.
☕ Make your favorite drink. - Read actively.
🖍️Mark important ideas with a highlighter.
⏯️Take breaks to reflect, process, and remember the key things. - Engage your brain on 3 levels.
👀 Visual – Reading and highlighting help the brain save the images.
🗣️ Verbal – Talk about the book with someone to make your thoughts clearer.
✍️ Kinesthetic – Write or type notes to remember through movement.
These three together = memory magic ✨ - Make it a habit.
Add reading to your day. And keep going for 21 days straight.
That’s how habits stick. And this one might be your favorite.
So… got a book that’s waited long enough?
Time to enjoy it!
