Allot a Particular Time of The Day To Reading
With a busy schedule and various distractions of life, taking time out for reading is a challenge in itself. That’s why most avid readers dedicate a certain time of the day to just reading. Whether it’s early morning when the rest of the world is still asleep, twenty minutes of your lunch break, or right before you go to bed, find the right time for yourself.
Make A Reading Schedule
Got a ‘to-read’ list? Well, it’s not going to get ticked off on its own. You need a proper schedule. Sometimes it’s best to pre-plan what you’ll read in the next few weeks so you have it all laid out. For instance, you could decide to read 5 books a month and then schedule how much time you’ll spend on each book.
Long Commute? Read On The Go.
Always carry a book or kindle with you. This way, whenever you are traveling, all you need to do to spend your free time productively is to start reading. Plus, you could enjoy the beautiful views alongside and that makes reading all the more fun. Find an interesting genre for yourself.
