Hello! I am Manabi-kuma. Today, I will teach you how to become a book-reading master! Many people say they don't have time to read, but they spend hours on phones. Let's change that together-kuma! Rule 1 is the 'Pillow Rule.' Keep your Kindle or a paper book on your bedside table. Charge your phone in a different room at night. This way, when you get into bed, the only thing you can do is read. It is like putting your pajamas out before sleep so you're ready to rest-kuma! Rule 2 is about your phone's home screen. Move apps like Instagram or TikTok away from the first page. Put the Kindle app right in front! When you open your phone, your eyes will see the book app first. This makes reading your 'default' choice when you're bored. Rule 3 is the 'Multitasking Rule.' Use your ears-kuma! Listen to audiobooks on Audible while you wash dishes or walk. Ali Abdaal says this can save you an hour every day. Rule 4 is 'Don't be a monogamous reader.' It is okay to read many books at the same time! If one book feels heavy or boring, switch to a fun story. Rule 5 is very important: you can stop reading a book if you don't like it! Life is too short for boring books. If a book doesn't make you happy, just put it away. You are not a bad person for quitting a book-kuma! Rule 6 comes from Naval Ravikant. He says, 'Read what you love until you love to read.' Start with 'trashy' or easy stories. Don't worry about reading 'classics' like Charles Dickens yet. It is like lifting heavy weights at the gym on your first day. Start small and have fun! Rule 7 is to 'Gamify' your reading. Use an app like Goodreads to track your books. Seeing the number of books go up feels like leveling up in a video game. It makes you feel proud of your progress! Rule 8 is about speed. It is totally okay to listen to audiobooks faster, like 1.5x or 2x speed. You can finish stories much quicker this way. Rule 9 is to use tools like Shortform to understand books better. They give you summaries and explain big ideas simply. Rule 10 is to always carry a book with you everywhere you go. If you have 5 minutes of waiting time, you can read a few pages. Those small moments add up to many books every year. You can do it-kuma!

manabi 編集部の視点
The strategies presented by Ali Abdaal emphasize behavioral design over willpower, which is highly effective for habit formation. However, readers should be cautious with the 'speed listening' advice; while it increases volume, retention of complex material may suffer. Additionally, using tools like Shortform is excellent for non-fiction, but for deep philosophical or literary works, the nuance lost in summary might be significant. We recommend balancing volume with 'deep reading' sessions for books that require critical thinking. Author: manabi editorial team.
