7 Simple Steps To Build A Daily Reading Habit:
1) Experiment with different book mediums
If you love holding a book in your hands, read print books.
If you like having a hundred books in your pocket, read ebooks.
If you're an auditory learner, listen to audiobooks.
Try all three and see what works best for you.

2) Give yourself permission to read anything
You don't have to read classic or bestselling books.
You're free to read anything and everything.
Follow your genuine interests and curiosity.
As @naval wisely said, "Read what you love until you love to read."

3) Design your optimal reading environment
Don't rely on willpower to keep you focused.
Leave your phone, laptop, and other distracting devices in another room.
It's much easier to avoid distractions when there aren't any than to try to power through ones that pop up.

4) Read 2-3 books at a time
When you have a lot of time & energy, read a more serious book.
When you're short on time or low on energy, read something more light.
It's important to have multiple books to choose from, this way you can match your mood to a book that suits it.

5) Start a reading streak
Grab a calendar & mark a big X on every day that you read.
You'll get a dopamine hit every time you read & you'll be able to track your progress.
Don't worry if you miss a day, none of us are perfect and it will happen. The key is to never miss twice.

6) Find accountability through community
Visit Goodreads, r/books, #booktwitter, or one of the other million communities that exist on the internet.
By surrounding yourself with readers, it will become a strong part of your identity & you'll be motivated to keep reading.

7) Set a daily reading meeting
When you have an important event in your day, you don't hope you'll find time for it, you MAKE time for it.
Do the same thing for reading.
Add it to your calendar, set a reminder, and don't let other activities interrupt your reading meeting.

Lastly, stop telling yourself "I'll start reading when I have more free time."
Instead, follow these steps, and pick up a book today.
Stick with it for a year, and even if you miss a day here or there, I guarantee that you'll be proud you started reading today.
