Tips To Help You Read In The Lockdown

-
Hello guys! 
It's been a while and I hope you've been doing great. I've been doing fine myself.

So today's post is one that I know most of us students can relate to bearing in mind that reading has become a tug of war especially now that we've been home for 3+ months. Those textbooks you took home from school, how many pages have you read?, lol.
So I'll be sharing some tips to aid you read better in this lockdown and I won't bore you with SQ3R (do you still remember?). Let's get right into it.

1. Read the right books

Have you been reading the wrong book?, no. What this means is that you read what interests you.
You're trying to regain the flair you once had for reading so what better way to do that than read what you like?. If you decide to read school books then choose the topics you like and start reading, with time you'll be able to focus on other topics.

2. Read in portions

To be honest, not many of us like voluminous texts, so when we see the number of pages a book has, we panic.
So instead of trying to read large portions of that book, break it up into smaller segments and start. It'll also help you retain information faster. 

3. Highlight and annotate important points

When reading, you're bound to come across important information, you should have a pen and paper to take down notes or you could use a highlighter to remind you of these points. Doing this helps you stay focused. 

4. Listen to audiobooks

We all want to read but bringing ourselves to sit at a place peering into the pages of a book seems difficult. You can solve this by listening to the audio version of your favorite books. 
You can listen in your room, in the car and just anywhere. 
It also makes your note taking easier. There are many available apps to help you such as Amazon kindle, Voice aloud reader etc. 

5. Set reading goals

Perhaps, the most of all tips given, because all other tips are useless if you don't take action and clear reading goals will help you take action. You'll also be able to monitor your progress to know how far you've gone. 



There you have it, I hope these tips will help you achieve your reading goals. Which tip is your favourite, do let me know in the comments. 


Cheers!!

Trademore Estate in Abuja is scheduled for destruction

  The Federal Capital Territory Administration's (FCTA) bulldozers have threatened to demolish Trademore Estate in Lugbe, Abuja. Yes, the inhabitants of the estate were startled when a one-hour strong rain caused the region to flood severely a little over a week ago. Numerous automobiles were taken away. Many of the homes collapsed while others were flooded up to their roof levels. The authorities have not yet revealed the number of human casualties. Multiple people tend to die as a result of this tragedy every year. The most recent piece I wrote on this was in 2020. According to experts, a large portion of the estate sits inside a natural floodplain. However, the fact that most of the stormwater originated from somewhere else has raised controversy over the destruction caused by the flood on the estate and its neighbouring surroundings. The region where the estate was constructed is the target of several drainage systems from local and distant villages, which is what caused the fl...

  Following the overthrow of Niger's democratically elected president by a coup, France and the EU have stopped providing financial assistance to the West African nation. The former colonial power of Niger, France, added to the growing international pressure on the coup plotters by calling for the "immediate return to the Nigerien constitutional order" in a statement. The action was taken soon after the European Union said earlier on Saturday that it would no longer be providing financial assistance and cease any security cooperation with Niger. One of the poorest nations in the world, Niger gets aid worth hundreds of millions of dollars annually. After President Mohamed Bazoum was imprisoned earlier this week, Abdourahamane Tiani, a general who oversees the nation's presidential guard, was sworn in as the new president. According to Josep Borell, head of foreign affairs for the EU, "this unacceptable attack on the integrity of Niger's republican institutions...
