So you love to read, but life is so busy. How can you fit your book addiction into your busy schedule? Here are some tips to help!

1. Read for 15 minutes right after waking up (even if you have to wake up 15 minutes earlier).
2. Read for 15 minutes before bed (be sure to turn on any blue light filter your phone has, to protect your eyes and not disrupt the production of melatonin).
3. Schedule a block of reading on your calendar daily or weekly, and add a reminder for it to your phone. Treat it like an important appointment.
4. Read a book instead of watching TV.
5. Spend less time on social media and on reading the news; instead, use that time to read.
6. Get the Kindle or Nook app for your phone, so you can easily read whenever you have a free moment while you are out and about.
7. In that same vein, download a few ebooks weekly so you don’t get stuck trying to download a book when you have poor service.
8. Read whenever you have a spare moment: while waiting for a doctor appointment, when waiting for kids you’re picking up from school, when riding public transportation, while brushing your teeth, and so on.
9. While it may be tempting, don’t read while walking. You may walk into something (include into the path a speeding car or train), or leave yourself open to pickpocketers or thieves. Always be aware of your surroundings when walking in a public area, and save reading for when you’re holding still.
10. Sign up for an ebook service like Book Cave, so you can easily find books that match your preferences for a great deal. That way, you spend less time looking for books you’ll like and more time reading!
