Getting into the habit of reading regularly can be a challenge, but it’s a habit that is really rewarding.

Setting a goal for how much time you want to spend reading each day or week can help.

Start with a small and achievable goal, then gradually increase it as you get used to it. Research says, forming a new habit takes at least around 90 days, so give yourself time.

Having a specific goal gives you something to work towards and helps keep you motivated.

It can be reading one book a month, reading a chapter per day, or reading a set number of books in total.

Create a routine around your reading.

Find a regular time and place that works for you, such as reading before bed, on your commute or during your lunch break.

This will help you establish a habit and associate reading with a specific time and place.

Make sure you always have a book with you, whether it’s a physical book or an e-reader.

This way, you can fit in reading during idle moments, such as when you’re waiting for an appointment or commuting.

Keeping books easily accessible will help make reading a more convenient and natural part of your day.

It’s also important to choose books that you enjoy and are excited to read.

If you’re not interested in the book you’re reading, it can feel like a chore rather than a fun activity.

Look for books that interest you and that you’re enthusiastic about.

Eliminating distractions will help you focus on your reading.

Turn off social media or find a quiet space to read without interruptions. Or put on your headphones to tell other people to back the fuck up, you’re busy.

This will help you to concentrate on your book and get the most out of your reading time.

Joining a book club or reading group can be a great way to stay motivated and hold yourself accountable.

Being part of a community of readers can provide support and encouragement, and give you the opportunity to discuss books and share recommendations.

Keep track of your progress.

This can be a great motivator to continue reading regularly.

Keep a record of the books you read and the time you spend reading. It’s very satisfying to look back on your progress and see how far you’ve come.

Remember, developing a regular reading habit takes time and effort, so be patient and persistent, and give yourself grace.

All the love, all the power ❤️‍🔥
