Re: How much time do you spend reading each day?

Post by Bombey Marjorie »

I set my reading goal depending on my weekly Schedule. I have different time slots allocated for reading for each day of the week depending on the activities of that particular day.
My reading slots are usually between 30 minutes and 4 hours. Because I get to study on many other subject matters, I don't spend all four hours reading the same book. I read some for just 30 minutes, others for an hour and others for two, depending what I consider to be of greater priority for the day

Four or five hours a day, I think, though it's not always books. I've been sick lately, though, so it's probably less than that. I wish it was more.

I try to read at least 1 hour everyday but it really depends on my mood. Sometimes I decide not to read at all. There's days when I read more than 2 hours. It also depends on the book I'm reading. When I'm reading a very interesting book, I try to devote even more time to it.

Usually, about an hour. Mostly, it's at night when I can't sleep. I read for a while, then start to feel sleepy again and rest some more.

Actually I can't tell the exact amount I take to read per day but I utilise every opportunity I have to do so .Maybe I should check that out.

Minimum two hours. I cannot call it a day unless I have read for minimum of that time. On occasions, I have also read for 9-10 hours a day.

It really depends on how free I am on a given day, but I can read for about four hours or more in one sitting, which in retrospect may not be to great for my eyesight, though I am not completely sure.

I don't normally track how much time I have spent reading, but I will aim for at least a half-hour a day. That way I am consistently reading, but it is a very achievable goal that I can reach daily, even if it is just reading for a little bit before going to sleep.

Depending on the book, I can devote up to 5 hours a day reading if I find it interesting. Overall, I try to read at least an hour a day.

On any given day I can spend one hour to five hours reading, depending on how much I like the book.

My love for books manifests itself in short but intense bursts. (Trust me, this sounded much better inside my head). I can go without reading anything for weeks and then spend an entire day or however long is needed to finish a book I pick up. So I don't really have a regular reading schedule unless it's for review purposes, in which case I try spending at least 4-5 hours a day on a book.

An hour approximately and a little more time on weekends. That's majorly why I'm always eagerly waiting for weekends.

Usually about 1.5 - 2 hours at night. I like to read in bed, before I go to sleep. Lately tho, I've started reading more in the daytime because my current book keeps me wanting to read more and more.
