The 90-day goal
A steady reading habit quietly compounds into knowledge and perspective.
How you'll know it's working
Read at least 10 minutes a day for two weeks straight
Finished my first book of the plan
Reading daily feels automatic and I've finished a few books
The daily engine
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.
Start here
Keep a book within reach
Leave a book where you'd normally grab your phone — nightstand, bag, couch.
Anchor reading to a daily cue
Attach 10 minutes of reading to something you already do every day.
Quit books you don't love
Drop a book that isn't working so a stall doesn't end the habit.
For when it gets hard
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.

Each pairs learning with a second area, because what feels stuck rarely sits in one corner of life.
Build a daily reading habit — and make it stick.
Wanting to read more isn't the problem; doing it daily is. This plan builds a real reading habit that beats your phone, then helps you actually remember and use what you read.
