“How Do You Read So Much?”

Five habits that help me answer this frequently-asked question!
Christi Hegstad April 16th, 2025

I am an avid goal-setter, but I don’t actually set a number goal for my reading. I did that once many years ago, and I became so focused on the number that I started losing sight of the purpose, the immersion, and the overall joy of simply settling in with a book, regardless of how long it took to finish or what number my tally would reach when I finished it.

Since that time, I’ve decided to be happy with whatever number of books I complete in a year. And since that time, I’ve consistently read about 100 books each year, and I am frequently asked how I read so much.
