Musing Mondays – Reading Time

Published on by Margaret

Musing Mondays (BIG)Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about reading time€¦

Do you have a set reading time (before bed, perhaps)? Do you read more at night or during the day? Is there a day of the week, perhaps, that you set aside to catch up on reading?

My main time for reading is first thing in the morning, including reading blogs. I also read at night but not for long as I usually fall asleep very quickly once I’ve started to read.  I now have more time for reading in the mornings than I used to when I went to work full-time and could only snatch half an hour or so. I used to read at lunchtime at work but now I’m at home I don’t. Sometimes, I read for a while in the evening when there’s nothing on TV that I want to watch.

I take a book with me most places, especially when I’m waiting for a doctor’s or dentist’s appointment  so that I have something to occupy my mind. Last week I went with my husband for an eye appointment at the local hospital and we had to wait 2 hours – lovely reading time! (It was a good job I went with him as he was unable to drive home – his eyes were all out of focus due to the drops they put in. Thankfully the doctor said his eyes are OK!)

  2. Mornings seem to be my blog reading time and evenings are for book reading. It would be more productive if I reversed this, because I always think I’ll stay awake longer than I actually do.

  5. I always have a book with me as well. My family makes fun of my large purses filled with books, but you never know when you might have a chance to read a chapter or two.

  6. I work from home and keep a book on my desk most days… hoping to grab 15 minutes to read (which never happens). I usually try to read for abotu 30 mintues at the end of the work day, just before starting our ‘evening’ activities.

    I have never logged the time I read but I read while my husband watches tv or a movie. I do not read everyday, my schedule just doesn’t allow for it .

    This is an interesting question – thanks for posting it. I look forward to reading other replies.

  7. I also have a morning and evening reading routine. People often ask me if I read more now that I’m retired. My answer is similar to yours. Now that I can read all day if I wish, I don’t always. I also don’t hurry to read on my lunch hour as I used to.
