Want to find time to read more books?

You only need to know 2 reading strategies to do so.

Here they are:

1) Combination:

• Combine reading with an activity you already do

Examples:

• Read a book while riding the bus.
• Enjoy an ebook while taking a bath.
• Listen to an audiobook while doing chores.

2) Prioritization

• Prioritize reading over an activity you already do

Examples:

• Choose to read a book instead of watching Netflix.
• Use your phone to read an ebook instead of scrolling Instagram.
• Listen to an audiobook on your commute instead of a podcast.

So ask yourself:

• Where can I combine reading with activities I'm already doing?

And

• Where can I prioritize reading over other activities?

PS:

A helpful tip I found is to log my activities throughout the day and then reflect on where I can combine or prioritize reading.

I created a daily journal you can print out to track how you spend your time.
