Many of us dream of reading more books, but often fall short due to busy schedules or a lack of motivation. But trust me—it’s not as difficult as it seems. All it takes is a small, intentional start. Find a cozy corner in your home—maybe by a window or your bedside—and turn it into your reading nook. Keep a couple of books within easy reach, like beside your bed or in your bag.
Begin by reading just 8–10 pages a day, which takes around 12–15 minutes. In a month, that adds up to approximately 240 pages—about the length of an average book! Celebrate your progress by discussing what you’re reading with friends, family, or even online.
Carry a book with you when you travel, and try to limit the time spent scrolling on social media. Over a year, those small efforts can help you finish 12 books. Imagine—if you’re 40 now, you could read 100 books by the time you’re 50, simply by reading 10–15 minutes a day.
So don’t wait for the perfect time—begin. Every page you read is a step toward a more thoughtful, enriched life.
Choose whichever platform works for you—what truly matters is taking that first step toward reading.
