What I Read
I am frequently asked about my reading habits. If you are interested in developing/expanding a reading habit, My belief is that you have to start with things that you have a passionate interest in, and then see where that takes you. Hence, it’s a very personal journey.
I have tried to force myself to read certain things/topics through the years, and it always fails, due to lack of sincere interest. This being said, I have developed a few consistent reading habits over the years, and here is a summary.
I find much of my reading on Twitter.
Here is who I follow. But again, follow people/things that interest you, to maximize your reading/learning. I use Pocket to save reading for later.
