How I Find Time To Read ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Here’s some of my tips for how I finish reading 2-3 books a week while working full time.

✨ I always set aside at least an hour dedicated to reading every day. And usually a little bit more on the weekends.

✨I read when doing low impact workouts like walking on the treadmill, Pilates, stretching etc. This is usually easiest done when reading on my Kindle or phone.

✨Reading on my lunch break at work gives me a nice break from the first half of the day and makes me feel a little more refreshed when I go back.

✨I can usually sneak in a few chapters while I’m cooking dinner when I’m on a step that’s more hands off.

✨I avoid being on my phone before bed and instead will read to fall asleep.

✨And finally I use the Bookly app to track my reading, set reminders, make goals, and keep track of all the books I read.

... Read moreFinding time to read can be challenging, especially for busy professionals. According to recent studies, allocating specific times for reading can significantly enhance your reading habits. Consider audio books during commutes or listening to book summaries while doing chores. Additionally, platforms like Goodreads or Bookly can help you connect with fellow readers and track your goals effectively. Utilizing your downtime is crucial; whether it’s during lunch breaks or while waiting for appointments, every minute counts. Engaging in community reading events or joining book clubs can provide motivation and accountability. Remember, it’s not just about the quantity of books read, but also the quality of your reading experience. Focus on genres you love, and you'll look forward to these moments. By creating a reading-friendly environment at home and limiting distractions, you can cultivate a routine that allows you to enrich your life with literature!
