Notes:

Read What You Love: Pick books or articles that genuinely interest you. If you’re excited about what you’re reading, it’ll be easier to stick with the habit.

Start Small: If 10 minutes feels like a lot, no worries! Start with 5 minutes and build from there. The key is to make it easy and enjoyable.

Bring a Book Everywhere: Keep a book or e-reader with you so you can squeeze in some reading time whenever you have a spare moment.

Set a Reminder: Use a daily reminder on your phone or planner to make sure you don’t forget your reading time.

Join a Book Club: If you’re up for it, join a book club or reading group. It’s fun to share what you’re reading and hear what others think.

Track Your Progress: Jot down what you’ve read or set goals for how many books you want to finish. It’s motivating to see how much you’ve accomplished.
