Tip 1: Ready, steady, go – what do I start with?

It’s all about priorities. You should always know what you need to do now, what you can leave to later, and what needs doing later still. Always work with these three priorities in mind. Find out about time management and planning.

Tip2: What’s the point? Reading for a purpose.

Most books and journal articles usually try to make one point – the rest is argument and evidence. Ask yourself ‘what is the key theme?’ The same principle applies to chapters, sections, and even paragraphs: look for the point!
