Ask HN: How do you squeeze in enough time for book reading?

7 pointsby wbsunalmost 8 years ago
Work is busy: dev, meeting, troubleshooting, various pings, email, chats, ...<p>Life is busy: kids, wife&#x2F;husband, house, car, shopping, eating, fun, ...<p>Are you able to read books, not on vacation, but during weekdays? If yes, how do you get time?

I had this problem. Super busy during the day at work, I drive to work so I can&#x27;t read during my commute, etc.<p>I ended up buying a kindle with a backlit screen and started reading in bed for 15-30 minutes right before going to bed. I picked up a library card that gives me access to a bunch of kindle books for free and my amazon prime also gives me access to quite a few books I can read for free. I buy books for the kindle every now and then

I take public transport to work so that I can get a 1 1&#x2F;2 hours to read everyday. And sometimes while I&#x27;m doing my laundry.

I&#x27;d love to figure this out also. I&#x27;m stuck ready stuff for work during the entire commute just to (barely) stay on top of the latest news. I can&#x27;t find time to read a real book, and it is frustrating as hell.

For me it&#x27;s during my commute. I take public transport and read on it.

Audio books are great way to read esp. while commute&#x2F;driving and evening&#x2F;morning threadmill sessions (double benefit of improving health + knowledge).

One trick is I try not to bring my phone to bed with me. Then last thing at night, first thing in the morning I have time to read

I stop using my computer and phone at 9pm every evening, and plan to go to bed by 10:30pm.<p>So I have at least 1 hour and a half for reading.

Read in bed instead of going on your phone.

Audio books whenever I&#x27;m cooking, cleaning, driving, or exercising
