📖 1. Start small – set a goal
The most important stage in developing a reading habit is simply starting. Set aside 20 minutes of reading time each day and treat it as something essential, like exercising or eating. If you set a specific goal – for example, “I’ll finish two books this month” – your brain will start turning that goal into a habit.
☕ 2. Change your environment – create a cozy reading corner
Choose a quiet, well-lit, and peaceful place for reading. Create your own “reading nook” — a cup of coffee, soft light, and your favorite book will signal your brain that this moment is for calm and focus.
📅 3. Morning or evening – find what works best for you
Some people are more focused in the morning, while others prefer to read at night. Try both and find what fits your rhythm best. The key is to keep your reading time consistent.
📱 4. Put your phone away
The biggest distraction during reading is your phone. Keep it on silent or in another room while you read. This simple step can make your 20 minutes twice as effective.
⏳ 5. Consistency matters more than perfection
You might forget to read sometimes — and that’s okay. The main thing is not to give up. Every time you return to your routine, your habit grows stronger. Remember: reading just 20 minutes a day means you can finish around 15–20 books a year.
💬 6. Share what you read
Share your thoughts about the books you read with friends, family, or on social media. It keeps you motivated and turns reading into a social experience.
Building a reading habit doesn’t happen overnight — but consistency and small steps work wonders. Those 20 minutes a day can transform you into a more thoughtful, creative, and deep-minded person within a year.
