35 Reading tips I've learned after reading 350+ books:
1) The hardest part of reading is sitting down to start.
2) Quit boring books to make room for brilliant ones.
3) Reading one book may not change your life but reading every day will change everything.
4) Read fewer books that have been around for days, read more books that have been around for decades.
5) If you ever say you don't have time to read books, just take a look at your phone's screen time.
6) All reading counts as reading–try print books, ebooks, and audiobooks to find the format that works best for you.
7) It's not about how many books you get through that matters, it's about how many books get through you that counts.
8) Put your phone on silent and leave it in another room before reading and you'll 10x your focus.
9) Read good books, reread great books, rebuy groundbreaking books.
10) You don't become a reader and then start reading books. You start reading books and then become a reader.
11) It's better to quit a book than to quit reading altogether.
12) If a book changed your life, aim to reread it once a year.
13) Return, regift, or recycle books you didn't enjoy.
14) Speedreading is reading twice as fast to remember half as much.
15) The best places to read are airplanes, beaches, and parks.
16) The rite of passage all readers must go through is learning how to pick books for themselves instead of waiting for others to pick books for them (like how parents, teachers, and professors did).
17) Reading book summaries and thinking you understand the book is like watching a movie trailer and thinking you understand the movie.
18) The irony of speedreading is that if you can speedread the book it isn't worth reading. The best books are impossible to speedread because they constantly make you stop and think.
19) The goal of reading is application, not memorization. Stop spending time trying to remember information and instead spend time trying to apply information.
20) If you want to build a reading habit set a goal to read for 2 minutes every day. The goal is so small that it's impossible to come up with a reasonable excuse to not do it.
21) The person who writes the book summary benefits 10x more than the person who reads the summary.
22) If you read a book but don't change your behavior or thinking in any way, either the book sucked or you learned nothing.
23) Just because you bought a book it doesn't mean it came with a binding contract to finish it.
24) Everyone who reads 100+ books a year is either getting paid to read (author, academic, podcaster, content creator) or reading fiction.
25) No man ever reads the same book twice, for it is not the same book and he is not the same man.
26) Books are an investment, not an expense. A $10 book can make you $100,000 or even $100 billion (look up Warren Buffett's comment about "The Intelligent Investor").
27) Your reading environment is more important than your reading motivation. It's easier to read an average book at a library than an amazing book at a rock concert.
28) Carry a book with you everywhere you go. You never know when you'll find yourself with extra time you read.
29) Give a book 3 chances (chapters) to win you over. If you aren't into it by then, it's out and don't feel guilty about quitting it.
30) Easy reading hack: Download an ebook or audiobook to your phone so you always have something to read if you don't have a physical book with you.
31) The highest praise you can give an author is showing them that you wrote, highlighted, and devoured their book. If you show them a pristine book, they'll think you didn't even read it.
32) Spend more time reading short books. Some of the shortest books have the deepest lessons.
33) For timeless problems read timeless books. For modern problems read modern books.
34) Books are the ultimate life hack: For $10 you can download 10 years of wisdom in 10 hours or less.
35) The best time to start reading books was 10 years ago. The second best time to start is today.

I edit videos every now and then. One of the tools that really help a lot is fadr.com
It takes songs and separates voice and other musical instruments into multiple stem files. I have used such tools in the past. One thing they all have in common is low quality output with noticeable digital artefacts and bumps. But fadr provides high quality audio with no digital artefacts.
The website is fast, easy to use, And the best part 🥁🥁
Its FREE 🎉
you only pay for wav files. But for mp3 you pay 0.00.
It even gives you midi files😳
Send this to your musician friends so they can rehearse their favorite tracks as a band.
I have uploaded my example files here
https://t.me/+UAEFZt-8o4RiZTJk
The app does a lot more than just separating music. It has an AI that can remix your track into any other genre you could think of. But its not that great.
However, the stems that it generates are fabulous.
Check it out. fadr.com/stems

For the first timers (like me) you should take extra boxers, slippers and soap and your hair products.
Take a good shower there, lock your phone up and just enjoy the show. There're fast food and restaurants nearby so it's really nice.
The sauna and steam bath are too hot, my sinus ass couldn't breath lol but you could bare an hour taking breaks in between. If you've got heart problems DON'T do it. For a moment my heart was about to rest in peace lol

I saw this from Eldad and I thought it was so clever.
So I create a bunch of channels for every hobby or thing I want to organize. So for example I'll create a channel called books and then send all the books I want to read to it and later on catch up. I have more like guitar, spiritual, songs, electronics and so much more.
And this's fine, you can create a new tab folder and add all these channels and get them under the same tab. But another more organized version of this is to use a group with topics enabled.
You can create as many topics as you like and automatically get them all under one group. It's categorized, organize and very compact. Now the only downside is that if you wanted to share a specific topic to someone you just can't (unlike the channels) but if you have no intention of doing that then this's the best way.

You can remove any and all scrollbars in tailwind using this tiny block of code.
Add the utilities layer in your global.css and use the no-scrollbar style anywhere
