Find Time to Read

Since school has started, it is hard to find time to read with all of the homework and extra-curricular activities going on. 

Levo League has come up with 5 simple and easy ways to find time to read.

Read what you want to read. Read titles and genres that you like - this will help you to enjoy reading. And don't be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone.

ALWAYS have reading material. It doesn't matter if it is a magazine or newspaper, always have something to read. Don't ever go anywhere without a book. If you don't want to carry around the book in print, then read the book on an eReader, phone, or tablet.

Skim the headlines. Stay up to date with the current events. The Today Show now has an app where they upload all of their contact onto the app about an hour after the show - it is a great way to watch the news if you can't watch it in the morning.

Utilize Goodreads. Mark books you want to read, mark books that you have read, or are currently reading. Goodreads will give you suggestions based on what you have already read, and also on genres that you have said you like. Find your Facebook friends on Goodreads and find out what books they like.

Read before bed. Reading before bed instead of watching TV or laying around on your tech device is proven to be better for you. The LED light from your device will keep you up longer. Have a desk lamp on your nightstand and cuddle up with a book. After you're done reading, turn the light off and go straight to bed.
If you find it tempting to get on your device, put it across the room from yourself so that the temptation isn't there.

Finding time to read will allow you to relax and decompress after a long, busy day.

How do you find time to read? 

Love, Sydney
