When you read to learn, choose topics that interest you. This makes a significant difference in your reading experience.

If you’re currently transitioning your team to SCRUM, read books about SCRUM. If you’re trying to create more technical documentation, read books on that topic.

If you’re already a productivity expert, don’t bother reading books about productivity.

Read to solve a current problem. You’ll be much more interested and will absorb the information like a sponge.

Taking it a step further, you don’t have to read entire books! Read chapters that are relevant to you right now. Save the rest for later.
