Recently I ordered 15 books from Amazon. Some of them were novels, and some of the books were informational books. I started reading the first informational book before any of the others came. The book I was looking forward to reading first came later on. The problem I ran into, is once the other book came, I immediately switched over and didn’t finish the first book.

It ended up being a hassle. I don’t really care if I never finish the first book, however, reading two informational books at the same time started mixing the information together.  I just couldn’t remember which book a specific piece of information came from. The other problem was that some of the information from the first book had contradicting information with the second book. I started to get mixed up.

(Online courses can also give you conflicting information, especially when it comes to a topic like search engine optimization.)

So, the second book, “the four hour work week”, I started reading more often. I then got to a point where it told me to read one informational book, and one novel at a time. This was just the kind of advice I needed just then.

So learn from my mistake. Only read one informational book at a time. Read a novel too…they make good bedtime reading.
