Rebuilding a Reading Habit
To rebuild a reading habit, start with a simple goal of reading two chapters every day. Set a specific time for reading, such as during lunch breaks or before bed, and make it a regular part of your routine. Consider time blocking a reading session in your schedule to ensure you have dedicated time for it. Start with books that are easier to read and gradually build up to more complex topics. Track your reading progress to stay motivated and hold yourself accountable.
