Hey all, I need your advise and experience on how to make a habit of reading with my situation. I really like to read novels, and from time to time a good popular science book, or psychology. The issue is that given my job (I am an PhD candidate and my work involves lots of reading and writing on my topic (engineering)), I struggle to read or keep reading a book since it does not feel like resting. Also, I have difficulty to find books in my native language so I read in English which sometimes it’s not easy and I can’t read as fast. Now I bought so many books, and around 7 books that I started and want to finish at some point :/ I always feel like I am missing out by not reading books and it’s a feeling that I don’t want. So…. Pls any advice? Suggestion?
My only suggestion is to figure out a time of day where you almost always have time to read, and then read consistently at that time. Even if it’s just a few minutes each day it will become a habit. It could be after you wake up while drinking coffee/tea, or during a lunch break, or right before bed. The key is consistency.
