I usually set aside specific times for each type of reading. For example, I might read for pleasure before bed and save educational or professional reading for breaks during the day. This way, I can enjoy both without feeling overwhelmed.
I prioritize my reading based on deadlines or upcoming responsibilities. If I have a report due at work, I focus on professional reading. If I have free time, I indulge in some pleasure reading.
I try to find books or articles that combine both educational and enjoyable elements. This way, I can learn something new while still being entertained. It's all about finding a good balance.
I like to reward myself with pleasure reading after completing a certain amount of educational or professional reading. It helps me stay motivated and feel rewarded for my efforts.
I have separate reading lists for each purpose and try to stick to a schedule. This way, I can make progress in both areas without neglecting one over the other.
