Articles
You will find all the articles posted on The Growth Marathon here. From articles on how to become more motivated, to others on how to develop habits, on reading and more. Anytime I feel stuck on a particular topic in life I like doing some research to get some clarity (from books, online articles and more). I have now transformed the outcome of each research into an article you can read here. Enjoy, reflect, grow.
On Reading(Pt.3) – How to Read
When it comes to reading for knowledge, the techniques presented by Mortimer Adler’s “How to read a book” are useful. The book ultimately presents the reader with 4 levels of reading (it’s worth a couple reads). Some of the levels provided require some effort, but if you want to get the most out of a book, accept internally that it’ll require some effort on your part.
On Reading (Pt.2)
Always forgetting what you read? This second article covers aspects around how to remember what you have read, and to substantiate this, the Feynman technique is presented, which is an excellent technique to help understand and recall what you read. Let’s get into it.
On Reading (Pt.1)
Reading. We hear a lot about reading these days. We are being told to read more. Do we even know why we need to read? Do we know how we have to read? Do we know what we have to read? Having that mantra (“You have to read’) repeatedly bombarded at us can make some read with no purpose, can make others rebel and read less, and can help a few others read adequately and synthesize what they have read.
The Value of an Hour
Time is a concept I have not fully appreciated throughout my life I think. For some people, it just clicks, and they understand how valuable time is, and for some it does not. Some need a drastic event to happen in their life to fully understand their mortality, while some just need some numbers (monetary value, social value etc.). At least that is what I think. In this article I present some views that helped me appreciate time a bit better. I mainly touch on the monetary and social values of time.
