Fast overview on my approach to reading

LinkedIn Post

I’ve spent 100+ hours perfecting my reading system.

→ 5 steps that you can steal it in 5 minutes:

Choose wisely
→ Use fractal reading to decide what’s worth your time
→ Scan metadata, sources, and summaries to gauge interest quickly
Highlight strategically
→ Focus on content that connects to your current projects
→ Challenge your assumptions
→ Represent core concepts
Extract efficiently
→ For Kindle books: Export highlights directly
→ For physical books: Use AI-powered tools or a custom Python script to digitize insights
Go beyond AI summaries
→ Combine your personal highlights with AI processing
→ Create tailored, valuable summaries
Read consistently
→ Even as a slow reader, I aim for one book per week
→ My secret? 5 AM reading sessions using the Pomodoro Technique

I learned that is it is not about speed.

It’s about consistency and creating the right environment for deep focus.
