I love reading but I dont have time to read?

If you really love to read then you will definitely find a way to take out time to read. You normally don't get time to do many things but you can take out time to do things that you love to.

I will share with you some tips on how can you take out time to read. Here are a few of them -

A suggestion - If you are starting to get into the habit of reading begin with books which have short stories. Leave the novels and the thrillers and the others for a time when you are really in a position to devote longer hours to reading.

Leave aside a fixed time which you decide to spend reading. Say a minimum of 20 minutes per day to start with. Try and stick to whatever time you have chosen.

Now spend maybe a few minutes after bath reading. I know you are in a hurry and you have just taken a rushed bath but you can take out time to pray then why not do something you love. Take out time to read just a few pages. Maybe read the book while eating your salad. Or maybe cut down on your television watching to read the book. Take out 5 minutes off your viewing hour and devote it to reading. Read it while your kids are playing in the park and you are keeping a watch on them. In between keep glancing at the kids to see how they are doing. Just before you go off to bed, read a few pages, if you can. You find out for yourself when you can read.

Carry that book with you - read it when you are waiting for your bus / cab. If you are the few lucky who don't suffer from motion sickness then read the book while travelling. And if you suffer, then read the book when the vehicle has stopped at traffic signals / stops. And if you are the driver then wait till you reach the destination to read the book.

Just go with the flow and take out time to do something that you love to do. Start living Life!!
