I made an unofficial goal to read a book a week. That was two years ago. I’m still building to it. Who knew that making that goal would be incompatible with raising a child? I thought about that goal when I read a post today.
As I’ve said before on Intersections, I read Michael Hyatt’s blog, and he consistently offers helpful posts in several areas, including leadership, publishing, and social media. Yesterday he had a guest post by Robert Bruce who’s reading through Time magazine’s 100 top English-speaking novels.
Robert, a new father, who’s employed full-time and who trains for marathons, offers five way to make more time to read. They are:
- Sacrifice something.
- Make a routine.
- Set a goal.
- Have fun.
- Mix it up.
If you’d like to see the post, and it’s a quick one–after all, Robert has little time to blog because he’s reading—take a look here. It’ll help you see a few ways you can actually find time to read. I’m still reading stories once a week from All Hagar’s Children, a book at the office about emotional systems called How Your Church Family Works, and daily at home The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. What about you? Reading anything these days?
