The basic issues which hinder you from reading consistently –
You get bored at the first page only.
You get your first yawn once you flip a couple of pages.
Your reading time is taken over by the telecast of your favourite movie on the television.
You simply procrastinate because you think that you will read tomorrow.
Or you don’t read because of numerous other reasons

Pick Up the novel of Sherlock Holmes or any Ruskin bond book of not more than 200-220 pages. Begin reading the page 1 of the book. Keep reading and do not stop until 5 minutes are Over. Use the time when you relax in the bed due to after-sleep effect once you wake up in the morning

Time for you to go to your balcony. If your house does not have one, just go by the window and pick up the same book. Open the page bookmarked on day 1 and start reading again. Do not stop reading until 10 minutes are over then close the book and do not think about the book or reading anymore.

On day 3, you will start feeling better but don’t get
carried away.
Open the book again and read for just 12 minutes
not a single minute more or less.
Your luxurious sofa with super-soft cushions will be
an ideal place to sit, relax and read for 12 minutes.

It is the day to push your momentum. Therefore, increase your reading time to 18 minutes; it is an increment of 6 minutes but since you are already halfway so it will be a piece of cake for you. The terrace might be a good place for performing the reading activity on day 4. However, beware of not looking elsewhere but in the book only

Since you geared yourself up on day 4 it’s the
time for you to relax .
So, on day 5, you need to add 2 more minutes to your
reading time and make it 20 minutes overall.
You may read while walking in your living room, a
little exercise coupled with reading.

Reinforce your spirit on day 6 and rev the engine up to
drag the reading time up to 25 minutes.
You will notice that reading the book will be a piece of
cake for you now.
You deserve a cake too today, hence, reading your
book while eating your favourite pastry will add
sweetness to your reading practice.

On day 7 follow day 6 again i.e. read for 25
minutes.
But make sure to sit in a chair and read.
A good and comfortable chair is the best place
where the mind grasps quickly from the book.

Day 8 carries the most essential tip.
You will already be finished with one cycle of reading
by Day 8 .
Being consistent requires 2 more cycles to perform.
Why?
Because according to a research, a good habit takes only 21
days to build and stay with you forever.
