When do you read? How often?

How and when do you all find time to read?

I've always read on and off but now have come to a realization that it should be done daily.

For me, I try to read for 30m-1h but I usually run out of time and haven't scheduled a time dedicated for reading, maybe it's just that. I don't see reading as part of my personality, but I see the power that one has when it comes to acquiring knowledge and experiences through books.

What are your thoughts? And restating the main question:

How and when do you all find time to read?

No fixed times. I read whenever I feel like it and find the time, which is usually in the evening. I've read 40 books this year, surpassing my goal of 24. I did a mix of ebook and audio book, I don't read on paper anymore.

Daily before bed for at least 30 minutes. I don't sleep well so half the time I'll read at when it's hard to fall asleep again after waking up. My goal is to reduce phone screen time for ereader screen time but I need (mostly) silence to read so...yeah.

I tend to read only when I'm out of the house, ironically. I feel a lot more comfortable breaking out a book in a cafe, than a laptop.

30 min~ before going to bed. The work + toddler combo is quite exhausting and doesn't leave much room for anything else.

Lately I've been busy so I listen to audiobooks or use a locally hosted speech to text model when I'm doing chores.

I read every day at work while I eat my lunch and usually while I get ready for bed at night.
