Reading is a great activity to improve vocabulary, imagination, and sometimes this habit increases empathy and makes a person more productive.
But many people find it difficult to force themselves to start reading.
If you want to instill such a useful habit in yourself, it’s better to start by choosing a reading format.
You shouldn't think that every book lover necessarily walks around the city with a paper book.
Some people may find it more convenient to have an electronic version of the book, read it from a smartphone or even from a computer.
If you are constantly on the move, audiobooks will save you.
It is worth noting that it is better to avoid unrealistic goals.
For example, you shouldn't force yourself to read a new book every week or try to master 100 works by world authors in a year. You need to start gradually.
To start, you can ask your friends to recommend a few books, which you can then discuss.
If you want to motivate yourself, you can join a book club.
It is better to read at least an hour a day. If you do not have that much free time, then it is acceptable to break this time into small segments throughout the day.
Don't force yourself to read a work you don't like. This will only discourage you from picking up a new book in the future.
You should try to set a boundary. For example, if the first 50 pages did not arouse interest, then it is better to pay attention to other works.
Earlier we talked about why you should read fiction.
