FINDING TIME TO READ AND WRITE REVIEWS WHILE JUGGLING OTHER COMMITMENTS

Welcome to another chapter of our weekly special. Wow, chapter five(5), we've really come a long way, and if you have not started reading, I'm going to add the links right from Chapter 1(one).


In this chapter, I'll be talking about finding time to read and write reviews while still juggling other commitments, so let's get to it:
Reading and writing reviews is just a hobby of mine, and apart from writing reviews, I run a blog, a bookstagram (@rayo_reads) a Facebook account (@RayoReads), Goodreads, and even X (formerly called Twitter), and to be honest, it is really not easy.
So here are my top 5 ways of finding time to read and write while still juggling other commitments:

1. I read whenever and wherever I can; those little minutes when I wake, avoiding social interactions, a lecturer is running late, and a and a few minutes before I go to bed, I try to sneak a little reading time into my daily routine.

2. I write reviews immediately after I finish a book; while the book is still fresh in my mind, I whip out a notebook and pen and jot down my review ideas. P.S. Most of the time, the reviews do not always come immediately.

3. When it comes to posting reviews, I try to make use of my scheduling tools, but when I can't schedule my posts, I ensure I have the drafts ready.

4. With images and templates, I make sure to always prepare them before hand.

5. Lastly, reading is not a job; it is something I do for fun, so I enjoy it, and it is not a burden to me or my other commitments.


Question: How do you find time to read and write reviews while juggling other commitments?

FROM ONE TO FIVE

Another Saturday, another bookish rant😂😊. Welcome to another chapter of weekly special book lovers 📚😍. The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change? The other day I saw a post on Instagram about whether book reviewers still made use of "stars" when reviewing books, and I was compelled to make this a topic on my book segment! So the question is, 'Do reviewers and generally book lovers still make use of stars when reviewing books?' As a book reviewer myself, I love making use of stars, and I will never stop making use of them except a better system comes up for scaling books 😂. It is also true that I correct my ratings accordingly. What do I mean by this? This is what I mean: when rating books, I go by my mood and excitement after completion of the book, and I immediately rate books. I may look back on my emotions after reading a particular book and correct my ratings. I recently...

WHO AM I?

In this chapter of the Weekly Special, I am going to dive into who I am aside from being a book reviewer! I know y'all are probably thinking that all I do with my time is read books and rate them on a scale of five 😂😂. Probably not! So the question is, Who is RayoReads? I am Rayo, and this is who I am aside from reading and reviewing books. 1. I am a student at Delta State University in Abraka studying physiology. How cool, right? (just joking) 😂😂 . When school is in session,studies take up most of my time, which is why I am so happy when we go on breaks.  2. I am a very introverted person, which you will have guessed, so no partying, going out , excessive friends, and the rest. 3. I am an indoors person, but that does not mean I sleep a lot 💤😂 .P.S.: I don't like taking afternoon naps. 4. I am not a big social person, but you can find me on Facebook: (  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087184700959&mibextid=ZbWKwL )    Instagram (...
