      Along with audiobooks, use wireless headphones. Cords are shackles! Free your hands and arms. You'll find yourself listening a lot more. 8/

      If time, not money, is your main constraint, buy audio AND Kindle versions of the same book, then listen along (at 2–3x) while you read. 9/

      Listening+reading isn't faster than reading by itself, but it's more immersive and makes it easier to read while e.g. eating breakfast. 10/

      After you finish a book, close the loop by tweeting or blogging about it. This can be as simple as sharing your favorite passages. 11/

      Or learn from Tiago (@fortelabs), who has a whole process for digesting his notes and then tweetstorming them. https://praxis.fortelabs.co/mood-as-extrapolation-engine-using-emotions-to-generate-momentum-65a2e5940aae#b337 … 12/

      One last tip: Set your current book as your phone's lock screen, as a reminder of how you'd rather spend your time. (Here's mine...) 13/pic.twitter.com/ubmcyli3cN

      - spend 2.5h / day commuting on a shuttle - have a balance of books, so you can read something when you can't get through your densest one

      - get enough sleep - buy or borrow books whenever you think you have a 50% chance of extracting good value. Abandon as needed.
