You can read a hundred books and do nothing with them. The speaker broke this habit by asking one question before consuming anything: how can I use this right now? He reads fewer books now but actually applies what he learns.

Are you sucking up way too much information and not doing anything with it? I've been at fault for doing something like this a lot, and it really comes down to when I'm buying courses or reading books, I'll take all that information, it's so cool, it's so valuable, I find it super interesting, and then I just won't execute it. I was stuck inside of that paralysis of just information consuming and then not actually putting it into action. The solution that I found is that whenever I read a book or watch a course, my mind is always thinking, how can I use this and implement what I'm reading right now? I've almost put myself in a habit and made myself that every time I do read a book, I go into it with, okay, I'm going to read this book. What can I do to implement it right away? And ever since doing that, I've actually read less, but I've actually implemented so much more of what I've read and what I've learned in courses and books a lot faster into my business and in my life. So give it a shot. You may be in that kind of like analysis paralysis stage if you're reading a book, and it can feel good to read a book a week.
