Break Down Your Reading Time
If you’re just starting to develop your reading habit, you should not try to finish a whole book at once in a day or try to read for long hours. Doing this will most likely wear you out and destroy your interest before you even begin. Take it slowly and ease into it. Start small by breaking your reading time into smaller minutes. Take breaks and do something else, then come back to reading.

Read What You Love
Another way to develop your reading habit is starting with what you love to read. Something that interests you and makes you smile when reading it. Don’t start reading with something that stresses your brain out, or makes you bored and sleepy. Begin with what you enjoy and overtime, you try out other genres.
Read and Learn
Don’t just breeze through a book without learning anything. There is always something to learn in the pages. Take note of what you learn, jot them down if need be, and share them with others. The more you learn from a book, the more imparted you will feel. That is what makes you motivated to study more. So, learn to read and learn.
Stay Motivated and Stay Consistent
Don’t let your motivation down. If you cannot self-motivate find someone to motivate you. Make friends who love to read and also motivate you to do the same. Read motivational books every once in a while, to keep your motivation high. If you are not motivated, it will be hard to see the benefit of reading daily and you’ll be tempted to quit.
