How do people read 70+ books in a year? How can I do the same?

Read every single day. You might think you don't have the time, but you actually do. Just stop being lazy.

Cuz theyre pseuds and its exaggerated anyway. You dont have to read that much if you dont want to

I don´t count the books I read, but I am already running out of space in my room to contain them.

Frequency is key, reading 50 pages a day will take you very far.

Pick up a book every time you feel like cooming/other time-consuming, low-reward habits, and read until the urge goes away.

Has this even worked for anybody? In my experience I read a lot for 3 days then go back to cooming and don't read before another month passes by. Sucks.

What if I read right before cooming every single day until I get dopamine rush from reading instead of cooming?
Would this work if I know what I'm trying to do to my reward system or do chemicals not care?

>> No.16126007

i dont care how fast or how much i get through in a day/year. the fact that i take care of myself now-a-days, and i give myself time to relax and read (reading is like a meditation for me,) is enough for me to appreciate the good ive done for myself.
stop caring about your progress: is your life in order?

that is decline of the west. people compete in stupidity. issue is, they read, but not necessarily understand. there's only a couple of books that are essential to start being a human. reading anything else is just killing time, escapism.

I've read that placebo treatments are still effective even when you're told it's placebo, so it may work.

I can only "read" reddit while cooming. I watch some porn while shaking it, then give myself some relief for a few minutes and read reddit, then start with porn and shaking again, then reddit and repeat. Takes me about 1.5 hours to coom but it is very relaxing. I always masturbate lying down, watching and reading on my phone.

Why is it important to you how many books you read a year? People that brag about the number of books they read likely don't take any of it in. You're much better off spending a longer time reading something and understanding it in depth than flicking through 5 books quickly and getting the gist of them. Reading is a pursuit you should engage in because you enjoy it, not because you heard some fuckwit on Roe Jogan's podcast talk about how reading 70 books a year gave him dude DMT lmao superpowers.

They're reading no-name genre fiction, that's where they get copious amounts of books to read yearly. Focus on good books and just read what you can.
