10 ways to increase or start your reading habit.


  1.  Read the biographies of the people you admire or start with comics or magazines.
  2. Start reading with physical books and later switch to kindle. Reading habit will be easy to form on physical books.
  3. Start with 10 mins of daily reading and increase the time every month. It's easy to go from 50 to 60 minutes than starting with the aim of an hour.
  4. Start with the book which is less than 100 pages long.
  5. Have some books which you can re-read in the future. Call this section "rereading " and return to it whenever you feel low.
  6. Replace smartphones with the book. You should have a book with you every time.
  7. If possible, write your own chapter reviews or book reviews to consolidate your learning.
  8. Drop books if you don't find them interesting.
  9. Find a problem and then read a book about it. You will be highly motivated to read it. E.g. I am having a problem with sleep so I am reading "Why we sleep" by Mathew Walker. 
  10. I read books that have a Goodreads rating of more than 4. This is a fairly good rule. It works 90% of the time.
