I fit in more reading time by completely ignoring my responsibilities and / or doing the bare minimum where my homework is concerned

[Booksaremysolace]

I'm not sure where I saw this tip, but someone recommended reading while commercials are running.

[mdandino]

I literally just ignore everyone because books are better than people. 👍🤗

I always read at least one chapter right before I fall asleep. It's a really good way to get your brain calmed down from all the UV lights and electronics we use all day. When I finish I just set it down, roll over and turn the light off, and go to sleep.

Shutting down Wi-Fi is hands down the best advice ever. I always find myself caught up in social media or watching Youtube videos instead of reading and all the while my head keeps nagging me to stop and go read (but it's not like I'm good at listening to that voice in my head that way more reasonable oops). So basically yes, get away from the internet! Also reading a tangible book helps a lot (although I read may Ebooks). I also tend to go to school early so I would pass that time reading until first period 😊

That sneaky reading in the office nearly got me once. I'm a teacher and we were having our bimonthly meeting in which we give report of each and every one of our students. These meetings can take up a looong time, so I was reading from my laptop while teachers from grades I didn't teach gave their report.

I was very careful to be aware and I had everything ready to start the report the moment it was needed. But, like 10 minutes before my turn, I decided I could still fit in a couple more pages. I got so caught up in the story, I only realized it was my turn to speak after they called my name for the third time 😓

All my friends are hardcore party people. We all love going to the club! But what do I look forward to doing? Claiming a table for my peeps, guarding their things, and reading a book on my phone. I get so "LIT"! Yup, reading up in da club is a thing :) Not ashamed.

I sprained my ankle and tore my Achilles tendon 4 weeks ago. Still can't walk BUT I've read at least 15 books! Lots of reading time! Not that I suggest doing that on purpose...

[caitlinbellinger]

I work at a library and my office is set away form everyone else's. It's just me and my assistant. We usually work with big headphones on connected to our phones or computers, playing audiobooks. I know people think audiobooks don't count as reading but they do! There is research to back this up. I am ALWAYS listening to an audiobook.

Read while taking baths! A great way to de-stress. Just don't drop the book lol.

[thenerdymillennial]

Not just toilet time but also shower/bath time, walking to and from work, when I am eating, when I am at work, while I work out, while I am in line, at appointments, family and social gatherings and events like concerts, while in bed, while gaming...#bookaddictproblems #notenoughhoursinaday #iregretnothing

[WhimsiesOfANerdGirl]

I am totally guilty of the reading on the toilet. LMFAO!!! Never fails! And...well...let's be honest...when this happens for too long, you get toilet seat rings. Don't laugh at me because you know you've done it too!!! lololol

[vegandinonuggs]

I listen to audiobooks in the shower now instead of listening to music. I also listen to one every morning while I get ready for school. Total time saver.

[thepokepoet]

Book Nerd trying to become a Writer/ Author. Wish me luck!

[ChristinadeVries]

I always listen to audiobooks when I do my makeup and get ready for work. That way I always get a little bit of extra reading done every day 🤓

[adramaqueen]

Audiobooks as you go to sleep! I've been an audible member for ten years now & I love my audiobooks. I have in ear headphones that are comfortable to sleep in and listen to an audiobook every single night to go to sleep.

[Italianamuneca]

Yes! I'm already at 194 books this year with the help of mostly audio books! I speed them up even when I love them! Now we get to use headphones at work and I'm listening to about 2 books per day!

I always listen to an Audiobook in online school and that’s like finishing 3 chapters then I read again after I shower cause it’s the best time so basically 5-10pm

[spaceacekaitlin]

I listen to my audiobook while I clean at work. The store is closed, customers aren’t there, and everyone who stays overnight went to lunch. It’s so awesome!
