5 tips to increase your reading

Reading a good book is one of life’s great pleasures. Here are 5 quick tips to increasing your reading.

1.Set a realistic goal

Consider what is a realistic amount of reading to do given your season in life. If you have long commutes or run a busy household, your reading goal should fit in with your other commitments.

2.Choose a few books you want to read

Having a few books that you want to read will help with motivating you to read.

3. Set aside a regular time for reading

Setting aside a regular time for reading, whether it is each day or on workday commutes can create a habit of reading. Consistency is key when forming a habit.

4. Set yourself a challenge

Starting a reading challenge, like reading each day or a book a month might help you commit to reading more. My ETSY store has a monthly reading challenge tracker that might be useful - click here.

5. Find a cozy reading spot

Having a cozy reading spot with good light, comfy cushions and a good chair can make reading more inviting.

In practice increasing our reading takes time to develop the habit. But having books we want to read, a nice reading spot and a regular time to read can help us read more.
