Sounds like a good idea but no, it is so distracting to read in the toilet, and uncomfortable if I may say.

@@savagebarbarian7973 I think it's up to personal preference. I don't find it distracting or unproductive, 10 minutes of reading is actually very good, and committing to read when you use the bathroom helps avoid the "I don't have time" excuse because that's time you're spending anyways. If it doesn't work for you personally that's okay, but maybe don't discourage people from at least trying, because it could work for them.

Matt, you really have such a sunshine personality. I really had a sh*** day and was all wrapped up in Covid anxiety but you made me smile and see the happy sides of life instantly. Keep doing what you're doing, there's a reason your channel grew so fast! Greets from a german university student! :)

I just want to thank you Matt and a team for the amazing course you did. I am finishing the course and currently building my reading habit. The knowledge that you share is well organised and structured, and what was important to me, that there is a strong interaction between what I already experienced (like past failures) and what I should. Not only learning new stuff helps you to build habit, but reframing your past failures helps to build a more quality habit. I already planned a few habits upfront, which I want to implement in my life. I am not in rush and will do them slowly.

I’ve personally found the “X number of books in a month” goal to be largely counterproductive. It can lead to putting pressure on yourself to read simply to get through the book, rather than read to understand, contemplate and expand your thinking. To help combat this, I set myself a goal of reading 10 pages a day. It’s bite-sized enough that it’s easily achieved, and also removes the time pressure to say I “finished” a book by an arbitrary deadline. Best of luck with all your 2021 goals, Matt!

I like the page goal idea but as I have books of various page sizes and content complexities I set a daily time per day I would prefer to be reading. Even going to far as to say that the time doesn’t have to be for the same book. As I am currently taking a break from college but will still be engaged in textbooks so that I don’t loose everything I have learned and am more motivated to start back time per day makes more sense for me. As ten pages in a textbook is time equivalent to almost 30 or more in a novel once again depending on topic and complexity. But I have been more successful breaking my yearly reading goal into time per day than t a set time per book and would the same for pages per day.

I try to read 10-20 minutes a day. That way if I’m reading something challenging it doesn’t give me pressure to read a certain amount and gives me room to read more if I want. But it also makes me push a bit if I’m reading a section I’m not thrilled with.

We all know that those J Crew shirts were the only thing keeping Matt in the US for so long. Once they were discontinued, he bounced.

Thanks Matt you always inspire me ! Much of love .

I relate to this video so much! I also used to be a big reader and lost my way. Making content every week, business building, raising a family all pushed reading to the back of my mind. I've gone from reading 30+ books a year to not reading anything last year. I decided to read for 30 minutes a day this year but I'm so going to steal the writing a list ahead of time. Thanks again Matt!

I've found also taking notes of the key parts of each chapter helps me retain it better it does require you to slow down more but I found it to be better for me actually learning and applying what I read versus trying to read a book every week and fill up on info I will probably forget.

Me: Takes a picture of the book list Also me: Forget that i took a picture of the book list

That feeling when you’ve decided to read more this year and then watched the video of one of your favourite bloggers who thinks the same and helped to set a goal ☺️🙏

reading and learning is something i want to build on aswell. Plus just making more time for myself and my health.

Hi Matt, great video! What’s also helped me to stick to the habit of reading is to create a good reads account! You can track what books you are reading and want to read and you can also create yearly challenges of how many books to read.

There is nothing more attractive than confidence, once you see your own beauty, so will everyone else

Sapiens is a masterpiece! chenged my veiw on a lot of history and even todays social structures. great read!

Hi Matt. I actually started doing something very similar to this after watching your 'Tiny Changes W/ Big Results' upload. I opted to read every day, whether it be a paragraph (some days!) or hours on end. At the end of each year I look back at the amount I've read and it amazes me how such a little change to my day can have a big effect at the end of a year. Thanks.

Hi Matt! Thanks for sharing your steps to keep up with 'that' new habit. I too started one thing on January 2nd 2021 and I am already following the plan you talked about. It really works for me. (I already passed two weeks of my writing for a 30 days challenge.) Keep up everyone! :)

The pandemic is actually an absolutely great time for meditation - at least for me. I used the opportunity to progress towards at least 2 hours daily, and it has been amazing thus far =)

It lowkey feels warm to watch his videos, given how patient and feasible his content is!

I'm definitely going to be trying to read more! Thank you Matt D'avella!

I am just rereading “Atomic Habits” by James Clear, that I originally read 2 years ago. I do want to refresh my habit attempts, but I also see how it all boils into one, in terms of behavioral economics, cognitive biases, behavior change, and obviously habit formation. A super huge recommendation for the book.

Same here! What an amazing book

I can relate to that. Being a student, I'm always occupied with schoolwork and not enough time to do what would help me grow.

Being a student, surround by academics, helps you grow tremendously, granted you take it seriously.

@@hkostek11 yea for sure it’s important to find that balance. I just really care about self-development so i wish i had a little more time.

You're so lucky to be so close to such beautiful animals! Bats are really social and intelligent and so so crucial to the ecosystem and I hope that the more time you spend with them the more comfortable you feel!!

Matt can you give us how to make your house look better tips? Your house looks amazing!

Don't worry about the huge bats, they mainly eat fruits and are only active during the day 😂

Hearing this ‘love you, guys’ at the end of the video from a male creator made me feel hopeful for 2021 already ✨☺️ Reminded me of The Mask You Live In documentary on Netflix on men negotiating America’s (and probably not much different in many other places) narrow definition of masculinity. Thank you, Matt!

i have reading books on my list of goals for the year too. although as someone who got out of the habit of reading while at school and never really picked it back up again, i read like 1 book a year over the summer. so my goal is a simpler 10 books for the year, i think it is achievable and i will feel proud for accomplishing it.

I am definitely using this as my goal too. I used to read everyday when I was in school. Thanks for the video!

New slogan for 2021: “Now it’s our turn to do the nut-kicking.”

This guy is gonna whittle himself into a finite salt and just fly away like dust in the wind - that's how efficient this dude is

Great reading goal you’ve got this year! I really loved Sapiens on your list... but gonna check out the others now. Totally relate with how creating YT content can keep you in “creation mode” rather than “inspiration mode”. My theme for this year is “find rest” - intentionally making more blank time for REST in the schedule. For a Type-A like me, this will be challenging (but of course I welcome this challenge and the irony). Lol.

i just love this channel so much.
