Do you have the good intention to read but somehow not able to get around to doing it, you will find this article helpful.

Here are some suggestions to ensure you’re getting your most important reading done.



1) Renew your reading commitment

To keep up with your reading, increase your reading time OR decrease the amount of materials you have, or both. Most people can commit anywhere from 15-60 minutes of reading a day…so determine how much time you’re willing to dedicate. That will then dictate the amount of material you can read each day.



2) Choose a different time to read

It’s great that reading causes you to fall asleep so quickly. I wouldn’t give that up, so keep reading before bed…BUT have the majority of your ‘priority’ reading happen before bedtime. Some people like to read at the breakfast table, after dinner, during ‘waiting time’, or while watching TV. Pick a time to read when you’ll remain more awake.

This reading time should be written on your calendar and actually done during this time.



3) Downsize your reading material

Downsize the reading material in your bedroom. Recycle magazines over 2 months old, and all newspapers over a week old, (even if you haven’t read them.)

Find a decorative basket to hold current magazines and newspapers, and keep that basket in another room. A great rule of thumb…once a new magazine or newspaper arrives, recycle the old one–even if you haven’t read it. If you find that you’re never getting to those magazines or newspapers, cancel your subscriptions.
