10 ways to create more time for reading
1. Bring a book with you everywhere
Whether you're waiting in line, waiting for the doctor, waiting for your meal, you can pick up your book and read.
2. Skip unnecessary meetings
It might save you time in general
3. Read while exercising
I like reading while on the exercise bike - I can exercise but also get some reading in - harder to do when you're rowing or on the treadmill or elliptical
4. Wake up early
The mornings seem to be the best time to absorb and learn new information
5. End work early
Schedule time at the end of the work day to read and learn something new
6. Read while eating lunch
Sometimes a bit messy
7. Borrow books from the library
Sometimes cost can be a factor - so just borrow the books from the library and never worry about costs again
8. Listen to audiobooks while doing chores
I don't like this as much as reading books but it can be a great way to get through fiction
9. Don't worry about how much time you have read
Whether you have an hour or 5 minutes, any reading is good reading
10. Read interesting things
Reading boring stuff isn't going to be fun and it'll feel like a slog. Reading things that interest you or that you can immediately apply to your life are the best.
