While reading multiple books at once may sound overwhelming, here are a few tips to make it doable.
Read different genres and balance pleasure reading with informative reading and emotional books with lighthearted books.
Read certain books in the right environments. Mix up your atmosphere based on the vibe of the book. Try marketing how-tos at the dining room table during lunch break, and romance tucked in before bed.
Read based on your mood and what you feel like reading. Read different mediums. Newspapers, magazines, blogs, and ebooks provide suitable book alternatives.
