Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

Embrace a Reader Identity for Regular Reading

Embrace the identity of a reader who enjoys seeking out and engaging with books to naturally fill downtime with reading. By seeing yourself as a reader, you will instinctively prioritize reading in various moments like lunch breaks, early mornings, and before bed. Rather than scheduling specific reading time, integrate reading seamlessly into daily activities by avoiding distractions like phones and actively valuing the experience of delving into well-crafted written ideas. This approach may not result in consistently reading five books per month, but it will create ample opportunities to enjoy reading regularly.
