How to Find Motivation & Fight your way out of a Reading Slump!

Hi, friends! As promised in my yesterday’s post – March 2020 Wrap Up, where I talked about the reading slump that has been haunting me since the end of February, here is a list of things I’ve been doing to try and fight my way out of this horrible feeling! 

This is still work in progress, but considering that I’m planning to finish my 11th and 12th books of this month, I think it’s actually going well and I hope that before OWLs begin I will be fully excited to emerge myself in numerous magical worlds!

I tried speech-to-text app for a week | Did it help my blogging routine?

Not so long ago I saw this amazing post by Kelly @ Another Book in the Wall, where she talked about her way of fitting blogging into the busy schedule and daily routine, and one of the tips she gave was to use the speech-to-text app. 

My first thought was: OMG! This is amazing! 

I’m definitely one of those people who prefer to speak their thoughts out loud. I tend to talk to myself when I’m driving, just as a way to form my thoughts for the upcoming blog posts or book reviews. However, once I arrive at my destination I usually don’t have time to sit down and type everything I just spoke aloud, and then I forget about it entirely.

Don’t even think that I have it all figured out when it comes to staying on top of reviewing books. No, I struggle just as much as everyone else and sometimes even more. However! Being a perfectionist and just a person who easily gets nervous when too many things start to pile up, I had to learn some tricks that would pull the weight off my shoulders and help me to power through the huge TO-DO list.

How to Find Time to Read When You Simply Don’t Have Time!

Let’s talk about time, shall we?

As that’s all I’ve been thinking about lately.

• How to squeeze reading time intothe working week?

• How to keep posting on my beloved blog while managing other things?

• When do I find time to take photos for my blog now it gets dark so early?

• HOW DO I FIND TIME TO FINALLY FINISH THE BOOK I STARTED MONTHS AGO???

I came up with few solutions (that I will be myself using as well, because the pile of books on my nightstand is getting terrifyingly tall and I fear it will fall on me in my sleep! Killed by the books!) to improve your reading time:
