Build the reading habit

This is a corollary to the first superpower - written communication.

“If you want to be a technology firm in the 2020s and you’re building a culture that doesn’t read or write, then heaven help you!” 

Set aside time in the day to consume writing that someone intended for you. Reduce distractions and build your focus. Developing this habit will help you consume a high density of information in short periods of time.

On the personal side, set aside two slots of 10 minutes each day to read anything that you enjoy - a book, a magazine, articles on your favourite websites. The more you build the reading muscle, the stronger it gets and the more productive your asynchronous work experience will be.
