I used to read but after some time I got to know it is not at my level of comprehension
so came down to lower level than that

i switch between aeon essays , smithsonian magazine and the guardian , here is my tip for reading choose a random topic ( what i do is i will keep a random number in my mind and lets say 3 for the time being - so i will read the third article - regardless of the topic ) i do this because i dont want any bias while selecting what to read . also i set a timer of 10 minutes while reading aeon essays since they usually takes more than that so i will just stop when its ten minutes . i do this like 3 times ( i.e, three articles with 10 minutes each ), if i am not in a mood to read aeon essays i will randomly read 3 articles ( usually without timers - since they dont take 10+ minutes per article ) from the other two sites i mentioned above .

Reading long-form essays from Aeon, The Guardian, and Arts & Letters Daily (ALDaily) is one of the highest-leverage habits for CAT VARC. Focus on reading 1 essay daily across unfamiliar genres (philosophy, sociology, evolutionary biology) and mentally summarizing the author's primary argument after each section.
