I think the scheduling idea is super important, too! If you make it part of the daily routine you'll always have time for it!

My little nephew is in 4th grade & has been back to school for 2 weeks. At his school they switch classes & he informed me that there is a little girl who carries a book with her "and reads it all of the time." I about died. I told him he should marry her someday cause that will be the coolest little girl he ever meets!!!

Something else that I find handy is to always have a book with you. That way if you're on a bus, or you have a free class, or a free five minutes somewhere, you can read even a few pages. Reading a few pages here and there during the day tends to add up, so it's worth carrying a book. 
I'm terrible for that type of procrastinating as well, where I'm not studying, but I'm not doing anything I like to do. It really sucks. Great video, those tips are great! :3

I was called weird because I carry a book around with me everywhere...and also because I'm a cheerleader... So there's always this one girl in my school who walk around in cheerleader uniform reading a 900 page book...ha..ha..😂😂

the video came at totally the right time! I never have time to read during the school year and by the time it's summer, I have a huge stack of books to get through.

Ha! I just filmed a video exactly like this! A lot of our tips are different so that's actually really awesome. MOAR READING!

I really liked your procrastination tips. I'm not a huge procrastinator, because I get a big high on getting ahead on my work and then doing the things I want without feeling guilty. But when I do, I do inevitably simply waste time for hours. I like the idea of letting yourself procrastinate. Giving yourself permission.

Also, I'd love to see more college advice videos from you. Like, how do you organize your work and get it done on time, how do you study, anything... girl, I can tell you're a stellar student. ;D

This video was actually so helpful for me. I am the WORST at reading during the school year. Reading random Wikipedia articles & scrolling through Tumblr...yep. LOL, these were great tips!

[TomesAndTravel]

Thank you so much for making this video! I was actually thinking earlier today "when I go back to school, how am I going to find the time to read?" so all of your advice was very helpful :)

The advice about scheduled time for reading is very useful - I always read when I commute to school and when I go back home. It become a very good habit ;) And also I think that during the school year it's better to read e-books on your phone, kindle or any type of a e-reader. I mean it's easier to take it with you, it's lighter than a book, doesn't destroy when you carry it in a bag and you have bigger collection to choose from :)

This is so cool because I've been reading a lot more recently just by integrating books more into my study time and taking it everywhere so I can read in those few minutes you've finished your work or whatever.

Great video! I do the same thing with giving yourself maybe an hours time for reading, it's like I'm coming to a compromise with myself "ok I'll read for this long or this many pages and then I work on my assignment till such-n-such point" and end up feeling actually motivated to do it:)

Thanks for the tips! Whenever you make wrap up videos during the school year, I notice that you read so many books each month and it's crazy impressive. I also like reading at night/before bed. I like carrying a book with me to school because sometimes teachers finish class early and people just sit there till the bell rings, so I just get out my book and read. :)

[neverlandkisses]

I'd love to see more college tips and such! :D Also, something I would do to help myself read during school: I would always read a few pages throughout the day. Before school, in between classes, lunch, after school before and after homework, ect. Before I knew it I knocked out quite a few pages without reading all at once! :D

[mandajeanbooks]

Great advice, Regan! I work in an office at my University's library so I have a lot of free time. I always take a book with me. Plus, I am usually at class early (if I don't have a class prior to it) so I use that time for reading. 

[samiraaligaal]

I totally agree with you on all points! During school I only read at night time, like when I go to bed. And I have to keep your advice in mind to read shorter books.. school starts soon and I started The Bronze Horseman and my reading process seems soo slow even though I am ready two thirds in the book, its frustrating cause I feel like I didnt read much even though i did.. anyways really grateful for your advices!! I love all of your videos so much

[spokenbookthoughts]

Another really good tip (which is something I do) is to carry a book around with you wherever you go, because you don't know if you will find a moment to read while waiting for something. Reading one page, two, ten, it still gets you further along in the story than you were before, meaning it helps you get through the story quicker. Every minute and every page counts!

I didn't read a single thing at college last year and it made me really sad. This was so helpful! Thanks, Regan. :)

That procrastination thing is soooo true! Also, another tip: I like to listen to audiobooks as well as read physical books so I get in more reading time each day. I'm currently listening to the Mortal Instruments series every morning for about a half hour as I get ready for school. It starts me off in a good mood, and I'm able to get a lot more reading done every day. Also,  I don't confuse it with the series I'm physically reading because even though they are both books,  they are absorbed as two different mediums!
