90. Building a Reading Habit and Chronic Illness Work Tips (Q&A)

Learn and Work Smarter

Getting more reading into your life isn’t just about willpower, and working productively with chronic illness isn’t just about “pushing through.” Both require smart strategies that fit your real life.

In this month’s Q&A episode, I answer two listener questions: how to finally build a consistent reading habit, and how to adapt productivity systems when chronic illness is part of the equation. You’ll walk away with practical tools you can use right away—whether your goal is to read more books, or to get work done in a way that honors your health and energy.

If you’ve ever felt stuck with good intentions that never stick, or frustrated that typical productivity advice doesn’t account for chronic conditions, this episode will give you realistic, actionable steps to make progress

• Simple ways to build and keep a reading habit (even if you’re busy or distracted)
• How to set up your environment so reading becomes the easy choice
• How to think about productivity when living with chronic illness
