reading for school is boring! Let’s try to combat that:
go to a library / cafe + body double with everyone else working
put a blanket down at the park, bring a fun drink + dive in
sit on the couch with a snack and ambient YouTube classroom noise to make you feel like a young reader again
pretend you’re an academic TikTok vlogger and record your progress with updates (don’t even need to post it)
the more of an event the reading feels like, the less insufferable I find it!

i miss being a kid, my brain not yet fried by short form media, being able to read at least two whole chapter books a day with ease. trying to get back into it by treating myself like my own kid, taking myself to the park for some mandatory reading time. i Also thought it’d be a good idea to do it anywhere but home bc i have a tendency to read on the couch or in bed & instantly fall asleep, so im trying to condition myself to not be so sleepy everytime i start turning pages lol

performative reading in public but make it *ACTUALLY* READING IN PUBLIC. Go read outside!! cute fit just makes it more fun to be out of the house!! I will not be shamed into not reading in public because some poser readers have made it a joke.

Beginner mode: reading on the train, reading in the waiting room, reading at the laundromat, reading before bed
advanced: reading on the stationary bike, reading while walking home, reading at the bar, reading under the table during zoom meetings, excusing yourself to read during a party
Where else are we reading?
