The biggest complaint of the modern world is not having enough time to read. It's because advance in technology has made reading less interesting.
But I often left many novels halfway for lack of time. I decided to take reading seriously. Here are some strategies that actually work even when I have a tight schedule.
Set a Reading Goal.
Having a dedicated reading goal can aid in developing a regular reading practice. Set a simple, attainable, and just slightly challenging goal for yourself. I changed it to "read at least 30 minutes daily" in March. You can create any goal that suits your needs for the month and do your best to stick with it.
Change Your Habits.
Already existing habits are hard to break, If you already have a habit of scrolling (浏览手机) before bed, replace that habit by reading instead. Pick up a book whenever you are tempted to open your phone. Or create a"cue" (提示) for your mind.
Track Your Progress.
I used to put a mark on my calendar whenever I lived up to my reading goal. Witnessing my progress helped me in keeping my morale (士气) up.
