📖🤓 How to Fit Reading into your Day! 🤓📖

By: Norah, Grade 8

A lot of us would love to read - we just don’t know where to start, or just don’t have time to. Our lives can get so busy now that even opening a book can feel like it takes a bit too much time - time that we don’t have.

Here are some tips to get some pages in, no matter how busy you are →

Places:

📖 On the car ride

Car rides (or whatever ride you typically take) can get boring. Make use of that time!

📖 Waiting (for literally anything)

Oh my gosh no more long, tiring, and boring waits?!

📖 Bed

Reading before bed helps your mind calm down and can give you a better rest!

Tips:

📖 Try different formats

If a paper book is hard to carry around, try…

E-books, which are a lot more portable and smaller

Audiobooks, which are portable. Also, you can listen to them while you’re going somewhere (you can read *and* not worry about crashing into a tree)

📖 Read anything

Try being open. Even reading the news would count as reading and reading more often helps increase your reading speed and comprehension.

📖 Put them everywhere

Leave one in your car. Set a page of an e-book as your computer wallpaper every day, then when you have time read it.

Motivation:

📖 Set Goals

Start small. Maybe even one page, or half a page, or five minutes. Just keep track of it somewhere (writing it on your calendar helps) so you can see all your progress.

📖 Give yourself a reward

You read a chapter! Go get yourself something!

📖 Put a book everywhere

Anywhere you might get time to read make sure you have something to read with you. Having time but not having the read ~mood killer~

📖 The fact that you get to read!!

You get to finally read - do you actually need motivation after knowing that?
