Time Travel discussion

How do you make more time to read, or get more reading done in the time you have?

I've heard, for example, ppl listening to audiobooks on a higher speed. I don't think I'd do that, but maybe, if I was still listening to them on my daily walks? My main tip is, I don't watch any sort of TV, maybe a movie from the library once a year, a music video once a month from youtube.

Sorry, forgot to unlock this! Thank you Lizz for alerting me to do so!

Happy to help!

I do listen to audiobooks when driving and I have to admit I just can't listen to them at normal speed. It depends on the narrator but usually I make them 1.25 speed when driving. I also have cut back on television and play Sudoku puzzle or work on a jigsaw puzzle while listening to an audiobook. And occasionally I have Siri read a book to me if I can't handle the poor punctuation (i.e. the Irish novels that don't use quotations).

I do have a stack of jigsaws waiting for me... that's an idea, to combine the two....

Reminds me, some people knit etc. while listening, too.

I usually listen when I am driving or cooking. I don't try to cram books in. For me it is a leisure activity, though sometimes I read for research purposes or to keep up with book clubs, like this one.

I formed a habit of carrying a book or my Kindle around everywhere I go to make reading my go-to activity rather than passing time on my phone.

I don't enjoy audible. Kindle is hmm. I always like the feeling of a book in my hands. So I set myself to find the time I need.

I def. carry a book around. Carl Sandburg poetry for health providers' waiting rooms works great!

Otherwise I almost welcome insomnia; the last few weeks I've been so busy I've read about five pp. before conking out. And time during the day has been difficult to find. (Whine fuss....)

Kindle is amazing! I don't have much space in my tiny studio place, but I can put a thousand books in a Kindle and it's paperlike screen is easy on my eyes. Other times, audiobooks during chores are nice too, speed around 1.10 to 1.25.

Just a little faster on audio... I think I could handle that if I ever need to. I didn't know that it was that granular, so thanks for the info.!
