Get more reading done this summer, and always
In tip number one, I talked about scheduling time in your calendar to get your reading done. I hope you have taken that tip to heart! Additionally, here are a few others that might help:
- Carry material with you wherever you go – in your car, on your phone, in your briefcase, etc. You never know when you’ll have a few free minutes.
- Watch less (or no) TV! If you watch an hour or more of television a day (which many of us do), just think how much reading you could get done if you swapped TV time with reading just a few days a week.
- Intentionally arrive early for classes or appointments and use that time to read.
- Get up earlier than usual to squeeze in some quiet reading time before the onslaught of the day.
- Unsubscribe to personally invaluable materials so you don’t waste your reading time on useless material.
- Read at your peak time(s) of day – your most mentally awake and alert times. If you are a morning person, make some time then. If you are a night owl, carve out time after dark.
- Let your ears do the reading – download audiobooks, podcasts, and other materials recorded on audio to listen and learn from while walking, working out, driving, etc.
- Upgrade your reading skills so no matter how much time you do spend, you get a lot accomplished! (The Rev It Up Reading Online Course can support you in this effort.)
