How to get yourself to read more: Kavin Bharti Mittal's trick is browsing 20 pages a day
Hike Messenger founder Kavin Bharti Mittal
Read more: That is always a good goal to have. A benchmark of 20 pages a day is an effective way of getting to that goal says Kavin Bharti Mittal. The Hike Messenger founder stepped up on his reading last year, setting himself a goal of reading at least 20 pages a day.

He’d read about 19-20 books by the end of the year. “Assuming 400 pages per book x 19/365 = 20.82 pages per day. My guess is I’m either up or down 10-15 per cent. On good days, I’ve devoured half a book. On not so good days, 20 serves as a good minimum benchmark,” he shared via a tweet.

His reading list was a mix of books on the lives of founders, some re-reads and some that he found “incredibly insightful. Some work, some play, some about life, some about all of them & more”. And the last category was deep reads, books he’s still only halfway through.

“I’ve been yearning to get deeper into Ancient Hindu scriptures. Last year, I picked up an English translation of The Upanishads by Eknath Easwaran,” he tweeted. That, and “Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind. Incredibly deep and potent. Only for those insatiably curious about the mind and its historical development.”
