One of the biggest irritations I have as an author is hearing someone say: “I don’t read, I don’t have time.”

Finding time to read can be a challenge in our busy lives, but it’s crucial for personal growth and relaxation. My advice: Start by identifying idle moments—waiting for appointments, commuting, or even 10 minutes before bed. Turn these snippets of time into your reading sanctuary. Small steps lead to big gains; even a few pages a day can add up to entire books over time. Make reading a habit, not a luxury.
