How do I read so much???

So how do I read so much??? Honestly, I don't know.

I used to dislike reading on public transport, not because I'd get motion sick, but because I love looking out the window and watching the scenery go by instead. No matter how many times I take the same bus and go the same routes, I still get so amazed by the roads and the views that I see.

Okay, so recently yes I have resorted to reading on my bus trips to and from work, especially if I don't get a window seat, which happens when it's just a short bus ride and I'm too lazy to climb to the upper deck or if it's crowded.

My second point is the fact that my other half lives in Johore while I, in Pasir Ris. I hate being late, so I'm always leaving home early because I have a long journey from the East side to the North.

Because he's coming from Johore and has to go through the checkpoints, and there's almost always a jam in between, I'm always having to wait a while before I meet him. Sometimes hours. I've taken advantage of that, managing to read while waiting =)

Let's go on to the topic of work. I've been working full-time since July last year, in my most favourite place since childhood, Popular bookstore. There's no morning/afternoon shifts or anything like that, and I'm always working 3 days in a row before I have a free day.

Because we work long hours, we are given two breaks, one in the early afternoon for lunch and one in the evening for dinner. I'm always getting the third break slot, and because my dinner break ends an hour before closing, I take advantage of that to read and then only eating when I go home =) It really does cover a lot of reading!

On to my off days. I am an early bird, waking up naturally at 8 every the morning. I think that's considered really early for a 20-year-old person who is working full shifts nearly everyday. And instead of spending my time in bed using my phone, I lay out some pillows and find a comfortable position to read.

I think it's possible for one to read despite such a hectic schedule. Okay, maybe other kids have their assignments and stuff, but hey, you can always read during the times you can't do anything about homework. Like on public transport, right?

There's also this thing that a Booktuber does, reading sprints where for the next 30 minutes, you do nothing but read, read, read, and don't stop for anything. It's like a break, but for reading =)

My reading goal for this year was 70, and I've already read 18 books at this point. I have no idea how I did it, but I'm so satisfied with that =D
