this video I want to talk about how to read more books if you have a full -time job, if you're a student, and if you're very busy in general.

Because I've been thinking about it for a very long time

and I've been looking at all the books that I have unread, untouched.

It really depresses me that I can't read all of them

and this year I decided that I'm going to read consistently no matter what.

I'm not going to make excuses.

I am not going to say that I don't have enough time and I will make the time to read, which apparently is the secret.

I'm not going to give you generic YouTube advice saying that you should learn how to speed read.

I personally read for pleasure.

And the last thing that I want to do is to skim through books

that I'm reading and trying to optimize my reading experience.

I want to enjoy my books.

I don't want to suffer through them and try to finish them as fast as possible.

This is not my goal.

This year I'm actually taking the time to read books

and to enjoy them and to not focus so much on metrics and numbers.

I have already finished 30 books by now and I'm really happy with my progress.

Of course by this time my progress could be better

but I'm actually enjoying what I'm reading and the books that I'm reading are not actually short.

These are books that are 600 or 500 or 700 pages

and they take time to finish and I don't want to rush through them simply

because someone on the internet said that we should finish 100 books a year, which is not realistic for most of us.

This year I don't really have any goals in terms of numbers.

My only goal is to read every single day and to be consistent with my reading practice.

And if I can't do that and only finish 30 to 35 books a year, this is fine for me.

So I want to talk about things that really help me to read every single day consistently, and it doesn't really feel hard.

Like I just do it willingly.

I don't force myself, I don't torture myself.

It feels like a natural thing to do and I'm very happy that I finally found my perfect formula because, well, it took years to find it.

At some point I thought

that I wouldn't be able to read a lot like I used to in the past simply

because I have a full -time job and now I'm a responsible adult and, you know, there's nothing to be done about it.

But actually you can still find time for reading

and in this video I'm going to talk about how I personally do it.

The first thing that really works for me when it comes to reading is to find the right format.

In my previous videos, I already talked about how I actually enjoy e -readers much more than I enjoy reading physical books.

I really enjoy reading on my Kindle, I enjoy reading on my Kobo, and that kind of format makes me want to return to reading.

It's easier because it's lighter and I can carry it around and I also can read at night.

So this is just a matter of preference.

I enjoy my e -readers, somebody else might enjoy their physical copies, and the next person will listen to audiobooks.

The important thing is that we all read and we all enjoy how we do it.

For instance, if I was to start forcing myself to read physical books, I would probably read less and I tested it in the past and I know that it's true.

So there's no point in forcing yourself simply because some people on the internet say that, oh, but physical books smell so nice or like there's this feeling of turning pages.

Every format of reading has its pros and cons.

The important part is that there is no resistance

and every single time you want to return to reading you just do it willingly and you don't force yourself.

I personally just carry my e -readers everywhere and I feel no resistance when I pick them up and start reading.

But if I was to start reading physical copies I would be resistant

because to annotate I have to pick up my pens and my markers.

So for me that would create a lot of resistance and I would probably read less.

So as I told you, find the right format.

Doesn't matter whether it's physical copies, whether it's ebooks, whether you're reading on your phone, and yes some people do that, or whether you're just listening to audiobooks.

At the end of the day you're reading a book

and it's a good thing and it doesn't matter how you do it.

So, so, so, so, so, so.

The second thing is read what you like.

This helps me immensely because I stopped forcing myself to read books that I wouldn't potentially like.

Everybody on the internet judges what you read.

Some people say that you should only read classics.

Other people judge those who read romanticy.

There are people who read in one genre only and they get their fair share of criticism as well.

People on the internet will judge you no matter what you do, but for me I'm just trying to stay away from

that internet drama and I just read what I enjoy

and I don't care if what I read is respected

or you know it's considered as reading something intellectual like of

course reading Dostoevsky is much more respected than reading I don't know let's say Stephen King but who cares?

like it's just reading and you're reading for pleasure

and it doesn't matter there's just like no reason to moralize it

and to say that if you're reading a particular book you're intellectually lazy or you know you're not reading real literature.

there's no point in saying that

and i think we should all focus on our own reading

practice instead of judging other people this year i allowed myself to read books

that i enjoy and i ended up reading the entire Vampire Chronicles series by Anne Rice.

And to be honest, I enjoyed it immensely.

And I doubt that I would read as much as I did if I was to read only classic literature,

or if I was to read something that other people consider as respected and prestigious and intellectual.

You have to consider your energy levels when it comes to reading.

If you're tired after work, or if you had a very busy day at university, let's say,

there's no point in forcing yourself to read something extremely complicated you can't read complex literature every single day

and that's okay we're all human and we get tired

and we get overstimulated so what i would say is pick books according to your energy levels

and if your life is currently very busy then don't force yourself to read complex literature

because you will inevitably fall short

and you will feel bad about yourself there's absolutely no reason to feel bad about yourself simply

because you're currently very tired and you don't want to read complex books.

Who cares about what you read?

I'm reading for pleasure.

I'm reading to expand my horizons.

I'm reading to experience things that I will never experience in my life.

So why would I judge myself because I'm not reading classic literature every day?

Speaking about energy levels, I of course want to talk about a rule

that really helps me and it's reading multiple books at once.

I personally really enjoy reading more than one book because

when i read only one i get really bored i'm not sure

if some people get overwhelmed by reading more than one book

but to me reading more than one book actually makes my reading experience much better because

when i don't want to read my first book i can

switch to the second book i also like to pick books

that are very different in terms of complexity for instance one book is for reading

100

when i am high energy when i want to read something complex when i'm actually willing to think.

101

And the second book might be something simple, something where the language is simple,

102

a book that doesn't require a lot of mental effort and I can just read it when I am tired after work.

103

Having that freedom to choose between multiple books can make your reading experience much more interesting.

104

Like most things in life, there will never be a perfect moment to sit down and read your book.

105

You will always have a lot of things on your to -do list, you will always have responsibilities, you will always have people who expect you to do something,

106

so there's no reason to expect that you will suddenly have time to read books.

107

You have to make time yourself.

108

You have to prioritize reading to the point where it's not just a hobby, it's not just something that you want to do, it's not just a goal, but it's actually your lifestyle.

109

You know, it's like James Clear in his book Atomic Habits, where he talks about changing identities.

110

You should see yourself as a reader instead of somebody who reads occasionally.

111

And when I say that you shouldn't wait for the perfect moment, read when you have time.

112

It's okay to just read two pages or three pages.

113

It's okay to read during your lunch breaks or when you're waiting for an appointment or when you're commuting somewhere.

114

Reading shouldn't be a ritual.

115

It should be something that you just do when you have the time, when you have the opportunity.

116

Imagine if you waited for the perfect moment to scroll on your phone, then you would never scroll because the perfect moment would never come.

117

Same thing applies to reading.

118

Just read when you can and don't say I just have 10 minutes

119

and 10 minutes is not that much so I shouldn't read at all.

120

If you have 10 minutes, you can finish a couple of pages, which is great.

121

And over time, you will notice how those small pockets of time will accumulate

122

and you will finish more books than you expect.

123

And my last point

124

that saves me a ton of time is about ditching books people on the internet call it dnfing a book

125

and in my opinion ditching a book

126

and not finishing it is okay okay you don't have to

127

finish a book life is too short to read bad books

128

and life is too short to suffer through books simply

129

because you started them i ditched a lot of books this year

130

and it's okay i don't feel guilty about it i don't feel like a bad person simply

131

because i didn't finish it sometimes i dnf a book

132

and i read it a couple of years later and I love it.

133

In some cases it's not even about the book, it's not even about the author, it's not even about the craft, it's just about the fact that the timing is wrong

134

and perhaps if you return to it a couple of years later you will actually love it

135

and it happened to me multiple times.

136

Don't think about it too much, don't feel bad about it, just DNF the book and move on.

137

Read something that you enjoy.

138

I mean if you're reading for pleasure why would you torture yourself like this? So yeah.

139

Those are the rules that really help me reading consistently.

140

I'm really curious to know what you're doing to read consistently.

141

I personally feel very glad that I picked up reading again and that I am actually consistent with this habit.

142

And I feel like reading is a life -changing habit.

143

So if you want to pick it up again like me, you can start now and you don't have to overthink it.

144

Daily ConversationWorking Adults

FOR YOU

이 클립, 영어 회화 연습에 왜 좋을까?

바쁜 일상에서 책 읽는 방법을 이야기하는 이 비디오는 영어 회화 연습에 딱 맞는 소재입니다. 자연스러운 구어체가 많고, 일상적인 주제라 쉽게 공감할 수 있어요. 특히 "I don't force myself, I don't torture myself"처럼 감정을 담은 표현이 풍부해 shadowspeak 연습에 좋습니다. 발음도 명확하고, 말하는 속도가 적당해 초급자도 따라하기 쉬워요.

자연스러운 표현, 깊게 살펴보기

"It really depresses me that..." : "~해서 정말 우울해"라는 뜻으로, 감정 표현에 자주 쓰입니다. "depresses" 대신 "saddens"도 쓸 수 있지만, 이 표현이 더 생생해요. 영어 발음 교정할 때 "depresses"의 'e' 발음을 확실히 내세요.
"I'm not going to make excuses." : "변명하지 않을 거야"라는 일상적인 표현입니다. "make excuses"는 고정 구문이니 외워두세요. IELTS 스피킹에서도 책임감을 표현할 때 유용해요.
"It feels like a natural thing to do." : "자연스러운 일처럼 느껴져"라는 뜻으로, 경험을 설명할 때 자주 씁니다. "feels like" 뒤에 명사구를 붙이는 구조를 연습하면 회화가 더 자연스러워져요.

쉬운 연습 루틴: Repeat-and-Record

shadow speak 연습을 시작해봐요! 1분 분량의 대사를 선택해, 화자의 목소리를 듣고 즉시 따라하세요. 그다음 자신이 말한 걸 녹음해 비교해보세요. 발음 뿐만 아니라 억양과 강세도 주의깊게 살펴요. 하루에 10분씩만 해도 영어 발음 교정에 큰 도움이 돼요. "I have already finished 30 books by now"처럼 과거 완료형을 사용하는 문장은 특히 집중해서 연습하세요. 꾸준히 하면, 곧 자연스러운 영어 회화를 구사할 수 있을 거예요!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
