Make Time to Read

For the first few years of my Product Management life, I didn’t read at all. I just worked and worked and tried to stay ahead of the curve (or not drown, is more like it). I was learning on the job, but I was not getting the benefit of learning from other great people who share their knowledge through literature.

One day, I woke up and realized that I really, really missed reading and learning. So, I decided to make a little time for reading every day. It worked! Now I read approximately one book per week and rotate between “professional” books and books for leisure. It makes me happy.

My daughter Rebecka loves to read as well. She just fininished re-reading the Twilight series (four books) in four days. And this is reading around days at school. She takes every opportunity to read: while she eats her morning banana, on the bus, after school, before bedtime. Take your cue from Rebecka and make time for reading. It will enrich your life.
