So for about 3 years, I’ve had a job at a university library. I actually got my master’s in a different field, but have had a really hard time finding a job. The pay is super low at this job, but otherwise it wasn’t a bad job. It was very low key. Students are self sufficient, so when I worked the front desk, I had plenty of downtime to read books. I had enough time to read multiple books in a week.

I just recently got offered a job in the field I got my master’s in! It’s really exciting and I’m ready to move forward in my career. This job pays way more than what I’m currently making. It’s also a lot more demanding, and it’s a much longer commute (hybrid/remote). While I am excited to move on, I will definitely miss the perk of reading at work lol.

I’m curious: how do people find time to read so much with a busy schedule? I think what I’ll try to do is turn off my electronics an hour before bed and get reading in. I probably won’t read as much as I have been, but I’ll still get it in. I may also try audiobooks, but I tend to not focus on them well in a car.
