Reading challenges work for some people. For me they turned reading into homework. These habits worked better.
- Ten pages before bed. Ten pages a day is roughly a book a month.
- A book in every bag. Queues and waiting rooms become reading time.
- Audiobooks for chores. Washing up has never been better.
- Phone in another room. The single biggest change I made.
None of these is a target. They just make reading the easy option.
