always been someone who wanted to read more but never actually did it. finally started and i'm genuinely enjoying it but i feel like i'm not getting the most out of it.
like i finish a book and feel good in the moment but a week later i can barely remember what it was about.
any habits or tips from people who read consistently that actually helped you retain and apply what you read?
i've been trying to set aside time every day to actually learn something new, not just scroll through articles and forget them an hour later.
I tried pomodoro for a bit, and it helped with focus, but i still struggled to stay consistent long-term. feels like i either go too hard for a week, then burn out or just lose the habit completely.
what actually worked for you to make learning a daily thing that stuck?

not looking for the obvious stuff like "wake up early" or "drink water." i mean something that genuinely shifted things for you, and you can actually explain why it worked, not just that it did.
for me, it was cutting my phone off for the first hour of the day. felt pointless at first, but something about it changed how the rest of the day went. still not 100% sure why it works, but it does.
what's yours?
been trying to get through a lot of books and articles lately for personal growth but i finish them and a week later i barely remember anything.
how do you guys actually make information stick? any methods or habits that worked for you?
