Life Kit · Used to be an avid reader? How to get back into books · 9 Jun 2026 podcast

And Marianne says if you've fallen off the wagon, you can get back on.

Picking up where we left off, our takeaway one is read when you can, wherever you are.

Kevin Wynn says instead of waiting for that perfect, distraction-free, cinematic moment, look for smaller chances throughout the day.

Standing on the train platform, there's a few minutes to read.

In a long line for lunch, you can get a few pages in.

Read when you're early to school pickup or when you're waiting for your clothes to be done at the laundromat.

And if you commute to work, well, that's a gimme.

Now to set yourself up for success here, you need to have books within reach.

Now you might be thinking, how can my e-reader or my tablet be in five places at once?

Yeah, you're going to need good old-fashioned paper and ink books for this.

And you don't have to buy them all.

Your local library will be happy to supply.

In general, a lot of folks will download books to their laptops or their phones or tablets and read there.

But Marion says that is tricky to do.

When you read on a device like your phone, you're just one moment away from a text, an email, a Slack message, a news alert.

And even if you turn those off, you might still go looking for other entertainment on your browser or on Instagram just out of habit.

You may also default to your typical screen behaviors, which for a lot of us includes skimming for information.

Now, skimming can be helpful when you're reading emails or when you're trying to stay on top of the news, but... The reality is that skimming is one of the greatest disruptions of deep reading.

And Marianne says deep reading can be a beautiful way to slow down.

Sounds pretty great, huh?
