How much did you read yesterday? If you’re anything like me, you probably read news articles, blog posts, commentary, reports, and maybe squeezed in a few chapters of a book. In addition to the reading we do for work, the typical social media user consumes nearly 300 pieces of content daily. According to Forbes, if you were to read 20 articles a day, 25 pages of a magazine, one book a month, and…
