Top 10 Things Getting in the Way of my Reading
-Being mom: My kid is a toddler so still very needy. I spend most of my days running after him. I can’t pick up a book unless its an audio. (I don’t always have the audio of the book I’m reading…)
-Being a wife: I cook and get everything ready for night and the next day as soon as my husband gets home.
-Work: Again, I can’t pick up a book unless its on audio and I don’t always have those for the book I;m reading.
-BookTok: lol I’m not ashamed to admit it. I’m trying to grow my blog numbers. And if i can hook them by finding them on TikTok so that they go find me at other places to keep up with me? SO. BE. IT.
-Bookstagram: See Above
-Sleep: Sometimes I wish I didn’t have to sleep, but I do. So of course I can try and open a book at night, but then sleep will come collect its time when it’s due!
-ADHD: Not gonna lie, I used to be ok with sitting down and reading, but since having my kid, I’ve found that my ADHD got really bad. I can’t read more than like 5 pages without picking up my phone or watching tv or doing something else. it’s a mess.
-Anxiety: I’m always worried about something. It stops me from doing literally anything smh lol
-Mood change: Never fails. Even with all of these things against me I can sometimes still find a book to get lost in. But then as soon as I do, there comes my Mood Changing to rear it’s ugly head. Sometimes I might even be in the middle of a book.
-My dogs: A lot of times when I am finally sitting down and reading, I still have 2 dogs that need something. So of course that means I have to put my book down and tend to them.
Reading this list back made me realize I really never stop going. I don’t get time to myself most days Definitely a hard pill to swallow.
What about you? Do you have any of these problems? Let me know in the comments!
Yup, I feel most of these! No kids for me but I can totally see it being hard to read with little ones around! I know my sister likes to read every once in awhile but struggles to find time wrangling all the kiddos that sometimes she just needs to rest! Although I did get her to pick up a few of the books I enjoyed and she liked them to a certain point! So success! Lol!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
