Agile Reading - Breaking Tsundoku - 5 week cohort

Imagine picking up an unread book and within an hour moving it to ‘Done’... or establishing an iterative process that would result in reading over 100 books a year..

Both of these things are within your gift, and this course will provide you with the frameworks and tools to do exactly that. It will challenge how you read, help you apply agility in your approach to reading and provide a truck load of practical tips that will change your relationship with books - FOREVER.

Sign up today, find out how to become an Agile reader, break tsundoku, and never feel guilty about buying another book again.

The structure of the course is 5 sessions of 90 minutes:

• Session 1 - Establish a consistent cadence
• Session 2 - How to run a 'spike' on a book
• Session 3 - Finding flow with Speed reading techniques
• Session 4 - Infrastructure review on digital and analogue tools to reduce waste in your reading experience
• Session 5 - Creating Feedback loops through creating personalised book summaries

As a long time agile practitioner and sufferer of Tsundoku (the Japanese word for acquiring books but letting them pile up unread), I embarked on 3 years of research, experimentation and testing ideas of how to solve it. I've run over 50 workshops (reviews) and focus groups (demos) to reach a place where I predictably digest 100+ books a year. I'm excited to offer these practical and tangible tips with as many people as possible.

This course will be facilitated in a gentle, patient way, so no-one feels rushed, but leaves with a profound experience that gets the result they came for. Read more books, retain more information, and break tsundoku.
