10
ways to make time for reading
Here are some ways in which we can
try and squeeze in some reading time, without altering our busy lifestyles...
Take a designated reading break
Every day, instead of chatting with
friends or going for that extra tea or coffee break, dedicate even 15 to 20
minutes to just read a book.
Cut down on social media time

Instead of spending that extra hour
checking out profiles and status updates or playing a random game online, try
to give that time to reading.
Go digital with your reading
If you're traveling to work by bus,
try and read an e-book on your laptop or tablet. If you drive, why not insert
an audio book instead of playing the radio.
Find a reading buddy
At work, try to find a friend who
likes reading and read the same books and compare notes. This way, it
encourages
you to keep up with each other.
Cut down on Random browsing

Instead of reading those forwarded
blogs or web links, try to utilize that time to read a book that you wanted
online or at your work desk.
How about some bed time reading
A good time to read is before you go
to bed. If you're married, why not pick a book that you and your spouse can
read together. This adds to the 'us' time.
Go out on a reading date
If you're happy with your own
company, head to a quaint coffee shop and read a book you wanted. This way, the
ambience and the coffee perks you up.
Leave a book in the bathroom
Now, this doesn't need much
explanation does it? Instead of the newspaper or magazine, read that book.
Say no to a bad book
If the first 50 pages seem daunting,
read another book. This way, a bad book won't put you off when you're
attempting to read more.
Read the movie
Yes, if you're planning on watching
a new movie and it happens to be an adaptation of a book, then read the book
first.
