I can't believe it, but I'm reading a book a week now. How did I find time to read a book a week? Well a few months ago, my wife and I decided to implement a "No-electronics after 10p" policy in our household. It seems that technology has consumed us and we always found ourselves staying up late either watching TV, playing with our Blackberrys, working on the computer, or just surfing the internet. We noticed it was keeping us up at night because it was overstimulating our brains. So we implemented this policy to get us to disconnect. Instead of using electronics, I started reading more and with all that time, I was on a book per week pace before I knew it. In the past few months, I've read some great books with my favorite one being "The Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. Plus, I notice I'm sleeping better now.
If you want to read more, but can't find the time to do so, perhaps you need to unplug like we did. It's amazing how time consuming electronics can be and how much time you can recapture in your lives.
Some great books I've read lately:
