Ask HN: How do I find the time to read when I always feel compelled to create?

I want to read more books which I think will help my productivity and creativity, but I have more than enough creative projects to focus on. What is the best way to balance this?

I would recommend scheduling it. Set a reminder on your phone. Personally I use Saturday mornings to get a couple of hours of reading in.

Having the reminder go off on my phone makes it feel like something I have to do.

Setting aside protected time sounds like a good idea. Simple.
