Well, to sleep better. The End!

Now for the sake of the article, I have to write more than 6 words. So here we go.

I was preparing for MBA and had read all the classics available still got very poor marks in English. So to hell with Shakespeare. I am also very new to reading books( voluntarily ). I started last year and completed like 16 books( My personal achievement ). Reading does improve your English which is required in today’s world. It improves your grammar as well. But the most important thing, you can finally say how crap the movie was as compared to the books.

I simultaneously read two types of books: Fiction and productivity.

Why Fictional?

  1. To sleep better
  2. I cut down my Instagram time and gave that to this. Once you reach the climax of the book, Instagram will fail before this.
  3. It is the smarter thing to replace the time if you looking out to cut down screen time.
  4. To use my Kindle.

Why Productivity?

  1. If you are looking to how to change your lifestyle into a healthier one, this is the way.
  2. The point of productivity books is not to boost you forever. You take some points from it, apply them, and put them into your habits.
  3. I got to know from examples how many people are like me and then they try to solve the issue little by little, one at a time.
  4. Yes you can gain all the things from youtube videos but again screen time
  5. My day goes way better with workouts, productivity books, and meditation. I read every day about productivity so I become more conscious about how I am spending my time.
