1. Firstly, reading is a seriuous job and You need to take it seriously.
2. Every hobby has its challenges. You have to start by accepting them. You may ask, what could be the hardest part of reading a book? In a time of so many distractions (TV, internet, mobile phone etc), believe me, it’s really hard.
3. There should be a place to read in your home or office. Maybe a desk, chair, or bergere. It doesn’t matter. As soon as you sit there, your brain should know that reading has begun.
4. Establish a routine. Read at the same time every day and read for the same amount of time.
5. If possible, try to sit down and read. You can’t get into a habit by trying to read a book five minutes before you go to sleep.
6. If you do not understand what you read and you feel sleepy while reading, try reading aloud. In this way, you will hear your own voice and your sleep will be disturbed. Your understanding capacity increases.
7. While reading aloud, walking around the room and getting into character, especially if you are reading a novel, can be beneficial for feeling the story.
8. Especially while trying to gain the habit of reading, choose only the books that interest you.
9. Be careful not to read books with similar content one after another. Different content will increase your interest. Similar topics get boring after a while.
10. If a book bores you, if it doesn’t interest you, leave it.
11. If you’re having trouble choosing a book, you can look at lists like “100 must-read books.”
12. At the same time, you can follow the suggestions of the people you like to follow and who are opinion leaders. I had the chance to read very high quality books by following the book recommendations of people whose style I like.
13. Try to avoid or limit social media. I didn’t close my accounts, but I deleted apps from my phone.
14. Turn off all unnecessary notifications on your phone, except for calls and messages. In this way, you can concentrate for a long time without being interrupted.
15. If you can’t do either, at least put the phone in the other room or away from you.
16. Although e-books seem very advantageous, research shows that printed books are more effective. For this reason, at least initially, prefer printed books.
17. Make sure to use the libraries in your school or neighborhood. In this way, you will have the chance to access many books at the same time and you will have the chance to benefit from it for free.
18. One of the good motivational methods is to join reading groups and find people to discuss books.
