Best of RAR: How to Make Time for Your Own Reading

Mar 21, 2024

Do you ever find yourself wishing you had more time to read?  


Oh, every day? (Yeah, we get that.)


We’re pretty confident that every mom wishes she had more time to read. 


Carving out a little time to enjoy your own reading life is worthwhile, even in those seasons when you think it’s impossible. (Sarah has six kids, and when three of them were babies age one and under, it definitely felt like an impossible season!)


But reading makes us better humans, better mamas, and better women. It also makes us happier. And that matters. 


Why? Because the key to a successful homeschool is a peaceful, happy mother. 


When you know you can count on your reading life to be a source of joy and refreshment regardless of how tough the day is, you just might find yourself being a little happier. A little lighter. A little more joyful.


On today’s show, we’re talking about how to make time for your own reading life, even when it feels like you don’t have five minutes to spare. 


Listen in for:

  • Ideas for sneaking in time to read (even on your busiest days)
  • How to make the most of surprise pockets of time
  • Strategies for handling interruptions, prioritizing your reading, and finding time to pick up a book even when you’re exhausted
