I'm reading like eight books right now, all at a startlingly slow pace. BUT! What makes this more manageable is to have variety in genre and difficulty. This heightens the chance that one of the books in your arsenal will be appealing at any given moment. This is my easy one right now. Large text, memoir, silly, not trying too hard to be anything. The story of a perfectly ordinary girl growing up in Sunnyvale in the 60s and 70s who still managed to be quirked up.

i usually find myself in reading ruts when iām taking classes and being assigned books or when iām trying to keep up with new releases and the āsmartā books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. Iām reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and itās just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!

An effective way to read more because you can choose what youāre in the mood for. My current mix: environmental essays, whimsical alien fiction, interior design

My mom is not a hardened career woman. When I was growing up it was difficult for me to understand how hard she worked precisely because there was no work/life balance for her. She never turned off. I will always remember her as I saw her on weekday mornings in elementary school: Glasses, hair up, Atkins bar, nightie that read āDonāt wake the bearā. I donāt think she was ever more beautiful than she is in her work uniform.

If you want to feel like you are not limited or bound to stop anywhere due to your physical needs you need to tap into that instant coffee vibe. Or instant espresso. If you feel tired youāre no longer compelled to pay seven dollars for some shit. You can do some urban backpacking with confidence. Think freeze dried astronaut food
