How to find time to read?
I'm an engineering student and during the semester I find that I have no time whatsoever to read a book, much less a book a week like I usually do. What do?

It seems you have time to post this
read while doing other things, like showering, brushing your teeth, masturbating, driving, eating, boxing, etc.
If you get distracted reading outside, say, in the school, you can take a nonimportant book and practice concentrating. That way, if you don't care to socialize all day in school or study for that matter, you can actually read.

You think you're going to find time to read lying there on the street, you think people gonna leave time to read for you to find? You want time to read, you make it, lazy fox man

I presume you don't have kids, if do have one day, then you'll see what is having no time.
If something is important enough to you, you'll find time for it. If that cute asian girl from your engineering program (you know the one) texted you and asked if you could hang out some time, I'm sure you'd find the time.
But in all seriousness once you leave school and start working, the separation between your free time and work time is much more clearly delineated and that made it easier for me at least to allot much more time to reading.

Any dead time you have - in bed; eating breakfast; on public transport; in waiting rooms; on the shitter. If you find that these aren't long enough breaks for you to be able to involve yourself in the text, I recommend that you find literature of a shorter format. Poems or short stories are great for times like these as you get through one in a single sitting. Then save novels for when you know you're gonna have a longer break.
"finding" time rarely works. if something is important to you, you make the time for it.
Listen to audiobooks in lecture. You'll literally read a page per minute.

If you are studying engineering focus on engineering studies. Between semesters and during reading week (if you have one). Summer is also good.

This desu
Also, I applaud you for reading a book a week when it's not at all relevant to your degree/career
I'm a lazy pile of shit when it comes to reading and it's heavily involved in my major

Fuck off, Pep. You're not winning the CL anytime soon, cuck.

you could also try reading some short fiction, that worked well for me. it's how I got into joyce desu
Just read before you sleep you dringus!
I'm finishing up my bachelors in ME, starting classes towards my EM, and working ~15 hrs a week at a consulting firm trust me desu:^)

I'm in the same situation except I can't find time to write anymore. It's really taking a toll on me.
If you're studying ALL day, you're doing something wrong.
I'm a semester away from finishing my pure mathematics undergraduate and I've never studied more than 3 hours a day. Not because I don't want to, but rather because my brain can only handle so much and after 3 hours I'm just torturing it, not learning, and ruining tomorrow's study session (for lack of rest). It is much better to relax, often I do it by reading a book.

People who act like this trigger me.
Stay at home moms, anyone who works 36-40 hours a week, people who follow up a statement of this kind with discussion of netflix television, and undergrads especially.

Start reading an hour before you go to sleep. Also read more on the weekends.
