Could you please check the following?

I like reading books so much that sometimes I have to restrict myself to reading at most two or three a month so that I can have enough time for my other interests, activities and tasks.
 
I would add a comma after "month".
 
I'd remove "can" and "enough". Just "... so that I have time for my other interests" suffices.

Is the following correct too?
I like reading books so much that sometimes I have to restrict myself to reading at most two or three a month. In that way I have time for my other interests.
 
Remove "In". Start with "That way" followed by a comma.

Emsr2d2, the following paragraph is extracted from IELTS Vocabulary book. Actually, I learn "In that way" in the book. Is the following wrong as well?

I think that music helps to inspire me while I am working, although my colleagues find it distracting. So I tend to listen with headphones on. In that way I can escape into my own little world.
 
It's more natural without in, but it's grammatical either way.
