This post lists 3 ways I make time to read as a busy mom and professional.
It’s not to brag but simply share how I create the space to sustain significant habits.
1. Set short attainable goals.
I strive for merely 5 minutes a day. It’s tiny, and achievable yet adds up to a whopping 30 hours a year. (Almost a full workweek!)
2. Enroll in a book club.
As an Obliger, I feel compelled to show up having already read the book. The accountability and community work wonders. At one book a month, that’s a dozen annually!
3. Keep Books handy.
I have books in every room- from trips, the library, rewards for milestones, and free Goodreads giveaways- they all are visual cues. Besides, my phone has 3 book apps. Together, they’re a powerful reminder to read more.
