How to Develop a Lifelong Reading Habit

Start a reading goal

To set an achievable goal can be a good start. For examples, reading 30 minutes a day or 4 books a month, can let yourself accomplish the goal easier. Revise your goal when you think you can go further.

Set aside some time for reading

Reading can give you greater satisfaction and pleasure. Choosing a convenient time that you can stick to every day. Many people prefer scheduling an hour of reading every night before bed. To make the time to read is not difficult at all.

Annotate your reads

Annotating is to write or jot down your thoughts, to mark a piece of good and useful information, or to tab favourite lines on the book. It is literally engaging with the book and you will have more enjoyment in your reading. 

Have a buddy to read with

Your reading journey does not have to be alone. Getting a buddy to read with can have a lot of fun and motivation. You can find someone to discuss about the books and you can also recommend books to each other.

Cultivating a reading habit requires persistence. Once you develop a reading habit, you will find reading can bring you pleasure and a myriad of benefits.
