it helps me to use different formats. audiobooks for fun, text for academia.

as for feeling like you're wasting time, scheduling yourself really well is the best advice i could give. i only read outside of my studies while at lunch, after before 9 am or after 8 pm, or on saturdays or wednesdays (my days off). otherwise, i have time set aside for reading for my classes. i don't worry about what i should be reading for my classes while i'm reading for fun because it has a different time and place
