I hear a lot of time people whining about no time to read and they are so convinced that it has become a mind block for them. One of the top contenders for the place of excuses is being busy with a full time job. Well, I think all of us have full time jobs and all of us lead busy lives. But here are a few tips to tackle this situations:
1. Learn to read everyday
- The key is to try to read every single day. Put it down in your schedule and make it a routine. Start with atleast 20 pages and eventually increase it to 50 pages on a day to day basis.
2. Put your phone away
- Phone has become a distraction in our lives and we are constantly fidgeting with it. This makes us hard to stay away from our phones. In order to do this, try to put your phone in a different place or turn off notifications to avoid distractions.
3. Start with an author/genre of your interest
- It usually so happens (when one isn't a voracious reader) that a book is picked and half way through the grip is out. so to begin with start with a genre of interest or perhaps an author whose writing is of interest.
4. Join a Book club
- Being a part of book clubs is another interesting way to start reading books. One the club comes up with titles and authors that we wouldn't have come across and two the discussion in a book club is always about books.
Happy Reading in 2019!
