What is your reading schedule like? I’m guessing (most of) you guys have work and/or school, what time in the day do you set aside for reading?

>> No.11230872

I usually like to read in the evening as I'm winding down for the day. If it's during the weekend then during the afternoon.

Generally the afternoon after I pick up the kiddo from school I just have music on and read in between cooking or cleaning. The kids either play, read, or do homework. So generally from 2:30-7pm I am reading every free moment excluding dinner. Then one kiddo has an extra curricular two hours a week, which I use to read, and then our weekly trip to the library, where I don't often get much reading done, but I book browse.

For about a year now I've been waking up a few hours early to read before I leave for work. It's usually the only guaranteed alone time I can count on. Adulthood can be a bit of a downer sometimes.

I'm an English teacher in Japan. I leave home at 6:15, do admin and set up logistics from 6:30-8:00, teach or spend time with the kids from 8:00-3:45 (6 lessons every day), tear down logistics from 3:45-4:30, do lesson planning and prep for the next day from 4:30-7:00, walk my stuff over to my other school (I switch every day and I'm not moving 200 lbs first thing in the morning) from 7:00-8:00, and get home at 9:00, and start on supper and chores. I get paid 230,000 yen a month. I think I'm going to quit soon.

That's really horrible.
I wait tables 5-9 hours a dag and get paid 1500 a month.
That being said I also pay 650 for a tiny room very far from the town centre and have a very expensive drug abuse problem, so I would prefer better paying job but seeing what you do i'm ok getting paid hourly.

I have to double check my schedule to make sure all the classes are scheduled correctly and that the curriculum lessons I have slotted in are the correct ones and print off my schedule for the day. I have to unpack my suitcase and reorganize the contents into lesson packs for the right lessons. Then I have to wheel the suitcase upstairs to my staging area and unpack the contents. I then move the TVs outside the first classrooms on each floor and place the correct lesson packs and other material on the TVs so setup goes as quickly as possible when that class starts. If I have multiple lessons for that day in the same grade I just have to wheel the TV between classrooms between classes. At the end of the day I have to return all the TVs to their storage areas and carry my suitcase downstairs and resort all the materials into their proper lesson packs and return any materials I won't need anymore to deep storage.

2,100 USD before taxes but I only get that 9 months out of the year. 2 months partial pay and 1 month no pay.

Cost of living her is more expensive but rent is cheaper once you get past key money and move out fees.

I tried reading at university once but it's hard to concentrate. Now I only read in the evenings.

People say that universities are degenerate places with too much to offer browns and queers. Granted, they stock Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey, and they even named the cafe after that book. But they also stock good ol' J.B. Peterson.
