How to get rid of the information we don&#8217;t need and replace it with books we always wanted to read?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A report from the University of California suggests that an average <a href=\"https:\/\/bits.blogs.nytimes.com\/2009\/12\/09\/the-american-diet-34-gigabytes-a-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American consumes 100,000 words of information in a single day<\/a>, a length of the entire novel. To be precise, 100,000 words cross our eyes in a 24-hour period, and, obviously, we don&#8217;t read them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color has-background has-system-sans-serif-font-family is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-color:#dedede;border-width:1px;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-top:1em;padding-right:1.5em;padding-bottom:1em;padding-left:1.5em\"><ul class=\"has-dates has-small-font-size wp-block-rss\"><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/top-free-ebooks-christmas-2023\/'>Free ebooks for Christmas 2023: here are the top 20 downloads<\/a><\/div><time datetime=\"2023-12-15T14:05:39+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-rss__item-publish-date\">Dec 15, 2023<\/time> <\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/best-personalized-library-gifts\/'>12 best personalized gifts for librarians and library supporters<\/a><\/div><time datetime=\"2023-11-18T11:11:37+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-rss__item-publish-date\">Nov 18, 2023<\/time> <\/li><\/ul><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple conclusion is that we are capable of processing a lot more data than we think. We have adapted to live in a digital world, exposed to thousands of web pages, push notifications, or social media updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, we are not interested in most of this information. It&#8217;s the information others want us to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there ways to rearrange information flow so that we could read what we actually want to, for instance books? Because, with 100,000-word daily data input, we do have time and capability to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at a simple infographic published recently on Harvard Business Review blog, and based on an earlier HBR article by Neil Pasricha: <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/04\/8-ways-to-read-the-books-you-wish-you-had-time-for\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">8 ways to read the books you wish you had time for<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I went through the list of tips included in the visual, I realized that it&#8217;s actually a handy guide to read more books in a digital world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping all the books with you can be done with an e-reader, tablet, or smartphone. The same with switching to audiobooks, and organizing books into catalogs. Finding curated lists of books recommendations can&#8217;t be done these days without the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying away from your phone? Isn&#8217;t it all about turning off notifications and placing a book reading app in the app dock?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click or tap the infographic to see it in full resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized alignwide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/?attachment_id=149057\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Ways-to-keep-reading-books-in-the-digital-world-full-infographic.jpg?resize=840%2C5016&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ways to keep reading books in the digital world full infographic\" class=\"wp-image-149057\" width=\"840\" height=\"5016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Ways-to-keep-reading-books-in-the-digital-world-full-infographic.jpg?w=840&amp;ssl=1 840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Ways-to-keep-reading-books-in-the-digital-world-full-infographic.jpg?resize=540%2C3225&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Ways-to-keep-reading-books-in-the-digital-world-full-infographic.jpg?resize=768%2C4586&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Ways-to-keep-reading-books-in-the-digital-world-full-infographic.jpg?resize=257%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 257w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Ways-to-keep-reading-books-in-the-digital-world-full-infographic.jpg?resize=343%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 343w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Ways-to-keep-reading-books-in-the-digital-world-full-infographic.jpg?resize=27%2C160&amp;ssl=1 27w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/09\/5-ways-to-read-more-books-now\">HBR Blog<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out more infographics about books, libraries, and reading:<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[ef-archive number=5 tag=&#8221;infographics&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On average, we consume 100,000 words a day.
