4. 1. Start small If you are just starting out on reading, you do not need to chunk down the whole book in a day. Start with small books or read a few pages of a book per day. For this, you can start a daily target of reading 10-20 pages per day. While at it, don’t rush but instead take your time to digest and enjoy what you are reading. Who knows? You can even exceed your daily target if it is a book you enjoy.
5. 2. Consider books that you love You are likely to quit reading a book that does not interest you. One thing is motivation is the strong fundamental that will keep you going when reading a book. And just because a book is trendy doesn’t mean you can jump on it as well. Seek out books that pertain to your hobbies and personal interests. The more you enjoy reading a particular book, the more you are motivated and eager to keep reading it to finish. Conversely, if you do not enjoy a book, you are more likely to shove it back on the shelf. Plus, why will you continue reading a book if it is more like a chore than enjoyment or entertainment to you? Life is too short for boring things!
6. 3. Make reading a part of your daily routines Another way to go about consistent reading is to keep reading materials handy at all times. Whether you are commuting, or you have free time at work, you are just lazing around at home, grab a book to read. While commuting to work, carry your book along for reading. Waiting for some conference meetings, read. Have a doctors’ appointment, tag your book along. Do this until reading becomes second nature. This is a great pastime.
7. 4. Embrace technology Technology has been so good to us that you do not have to carry a physical book every time.
