I’ll admit, I don’t read much. I’d probably say I don’t have the time to read, but more truthly I probably don’t make the time to read – other things are a higher priority for me than sitting down to read. That’s just me, we all have different passions and I prioritise the ones that bring me the most joy.

Yet, it will probably also surprise you to know I’ve read over 40 books in the last twelve months. I’ve only sat a read one book cover to cover, and I am slowly progressing through another book on my kindle. My answer has been audiobooks. I’ve combined my listening of audiobooks into other things that bring me joy. I often exercise up to two hours a day, and during this time I listen to audiobooks. This brings me joy, both exercise and books as the same time – it’s a time in the day I always look forward to.

I get it, audiobooks are not for everyone. These days, I often feel like I can struggle to take in the information when I read fiction books, audiobooks help me process and retain the information and stories better. Its probably a good indicator of a learning style that works for me.

I found a useful article with tips for reading more in life. Check it out, something might resonate with you – just like audiobooks have for me.
