#18 - Reading Time

How are you doing with the 31 Ways?

Do the best you can. Even doing some of these tasks will put you further ahead than if you didn't do any at all. Glad you're with us! Celebrate what you ARE doing!

As humans, by nature, we love to learn. We strive to add new information to our knowledge base and expand our horizons. To feed that urge, we harbor away books, articles, magazines, saved web pages and handouts that we want to read.....someday.

Today is the day! Joyfully,

Day Way # 18 Read that piece of information or story you saved days ago!

The accumulation of things to read at a later date can become an organizing task in itself. Unfortunately, you can spend more time shuffling and moving those items around than actually reading them. Here are a couple of ideas and aspects to keep in mind about the items you save to read at a future date.

Suggestions:
*Organize your day or week to include reading, learning or research time.
*Create a holding place for specific articles if they relate to an activity, hobby, travel destination or personal interest.
*Encourage those in your household to have a reading break.*If you save articles from magazines, put a sticky note on that page or tear it out. Then keep it with you so you can read when you are waiting for an appointment, a friend to meet you, on break at work or even at a stop light. (well, our lights in Las Vegas can take up to 4 minutes to cycle so it is a nice chunk of time, but use caution. You get interupted a lot by driving between lights, so make sure it's not an intense item to read. Seriously, not for everyone and use caution.)
