Have you ever purchased or borrowed a very valuable non fiction book and got it home in your hot little hands, only to realize that it's going to take MAMMOTH will power to force yourself to read it?
Well, a little LIFE HACK, that works for me sometimes is simply this tool:
I go to one page of text in said book and determine which page is most personally valuable for me to input into my brain, and then I simply record myself reading it aloud into the "easy self recording"
microphone on my Samsung Galaxy cell phone. This particular method allows me to process the information orally instead of simply visually and overcomes my instinctive objections to forcing my "monkey brain" to read something that it doesn't "feel like" reading.
I then hang onto that recording for however long it takes for me to absorb the material by listening to it over and over and over until I feel it is "done". Monkey brain conquered!
How do you overcome your natural inclination NOT to read the things you know you need to?
Peacefully productive,
