Notes:

Curate Diverse Genres: Choose books from various genres like fiction, non-fiction, mystery, self-help, or fantasy to keep things interesting.

Set Daily Reading Goals: Start with small targets, like reading for 15 minutes before bed or during breaks, gradually increasing the time.

Create a Reading Nook: Designate a cozy corner with good lighting and a comfortable chair or cushions to create an inviting reading space.

No Pressure to Finish: Remember, reading isn't about meeting deadlines or finishing books quickly. If a book doesn't resonate with you, it's okay to put it down and switch to another.

Open to Random Pages: Flip open a book to a random page and start reading. It could be a surprising and delightful way to discover interesting sections or quotes you might have missed otherwise.
