I want to read more but never do

Read a little every day so books become a daily habit, not a someday wish.

Build a real reading habit

The 90-day goal

A steady reading habit quietly compounds into knowledge and perspective.

Milestones

  • Day 30

    Read at least 10 minutes a day for two weeks straight

  • Day 60

    Finished my first book of the plan

  • Day 90

    Reading daily feels automatic and I've finished a few books

Keystone habits

Daily reading slot

Right before bed, I will read at least 10 minutes.

Book over phone

When I reach for my phone out of boredom, I will pick up my book instead.

Your first steps

  1. Keep a book within reach

    Leave a book where you'd normally grab your phone — nightstand, bag, couch.

  2. Anchor reading to a daily cue

    Attach 10 minutes of reading to something you already do every day.

  3. Quit books you don't love

    Drop a book that isn't working so a stall doesn't end the habit.

If-then plans

Decide your response now, so motivation running out doesn't end the plan.

If I reach for my phone, then I pick up the book that's sitting right next to me instead.

If I think I have no time, then I read just one page to keep the streak alive.

If I stall on a book, then I abandon it and start one that pulls me in.
