Co-founder and CTO, Chaptify.
Between homework, the gym, relationships and personal projects, it's hard to find time to read. Chaptify has helped me find more of it and build better habits. They say reading is done on stolen time, after all.
My own habit is two chapters a night before bed during the school year, and reading in the morning over the summer. Most recently I finished Crime and Punishment and Emma. I'm reading The Count of Monte Cristo now.
