How to Read More Books

Build a reading habit that sticks

⚡Quick Answer

Start with 10-20 pages daily. Read what you enjoy. Replace phone scrolling with reading. Link to existing habits.

Start with 10-20 pages or 15 minutes daily. Small habits stick better than ambitious ones that fail.

💡20 pages/day = 30 books/year for average-length books!

Don't force yourself through 'important' books you hate. Read what excites you - fiction, graphic novels, whatever.

💡It's okay to quit books you don't like. Life's too short.

Keep a book where you usually grab your phone: bedside, bathroom, commute bag. Read instead of scroll.

💡Kindle app means your book is always with you.

Link reading to existing habits: coffee + 10 pages, lunch break reading, before sleep instead of TV.

💡Same time, same place builds automatic behavior.

Whatever gets you reading! All count. Audiobooks during commutes/chores + physical books at home is a great combo.

Take notes, highlight, discuss books with others, or write brief summaries. Active reading beats passive.

Goodreads recommendations, 'best of' lists, trusted reviewers, or ask well-read friends.
