Too busy to read?

"Determination is one important aspect to fight off reading laziness and distractor.

Secondly always adopt the principle of consistency even though a bit.

Thirdly prepare to read anytime any where when opportunity avail. One important prep is to always bring a reading material with us anywhere we go. So when there is an opportunity such as - fatigue of work, waiting for meeting- we can grab the book and read it.

Fourthly - multitasking. Read while doing other things e.g read while eating lunch or dinner at work or home. this is especially good for newspaper as you don't need mental focus. Some people do it in toilet :-) Read magazine (handy) while putting your baby to sleep. The objective of reading is to gain knowledge. Audio is also one way. If you are driving or riding, play CD containing good material which are available in internet. Riders use earphone."


"Need to address two key words first:
1) Time - You'll only have no time when you waste them. If you want to read then you've got to cut down on the time spend on less 'important' things, e.g. television, chatting in the net, kedai kopi breaks.....

2) Reading- it's really not about the no. of books you read but the impact it has on your life and the useful points that you must memorise. Or else reading will just be a technical activity without retention and transformation.

So start using your time well and read effectively...."

"How do I squeeze time to read? I park my car further and took the MRT to read and to exercise.
1) MRT Travel time = 40 mins (to and fro from Kembangan to Raffles Pl.)
2) Exercise level = brisk walking 1.2 km (to and back from where my car is parked)
I wouldn't be able to achieve this if I drive to work everyday."

"At home, spare 1/2 hour a day before sleep to read."

"while waiting 4 someone or before i go to sleep."

"...not to do it during spare time but to allocate time for it like how we allocate time for meetings or for our special ppl..."

"Sell away that TV...... seriously!, it will unleash u to do many things in life ...... read books, have meaningful conversations with your family or loved ones, etc."

"Carry reading materials with me on my PDA."
