I often sink deep into another world in the process of reading. Reading demands a constant motivation, interest and above all time to concentrate on the stuff you read. Raising a family deprives one the most valuable, precious 'time' to do what you really want.A day as of now is spent 5% traveling, 50% working at office, 30% sleeping , another 5% spending with family and rest for cooking, cleaning and doing other household chores.This routine in turn creates a boredom which ultimately frustrates my mind big time.
For the past one year, I have been trying my best to read everyday atleast 50 pages so as to read a lot of authors and be adept with the latest titles and authors. All my efforts where in vain because I do not read with the same interest on a daily basis or I simply dump the book half read. Obviously, I am not happy with the way as far as my reading habit goes. To put a full stop to my procrastination and to really start reading everyday I wish to follow these steps;
1.Read atleast 50 pages a day:
Reading 50 pages a day keeps you engrossed in the plot. The biggest challenge is not to get distracted by your constantly beeping mobile. One strategy I wish to implement is to switch off my mobile while reading and switch it on once I complete reading.
2.Reading two books at a time:
I wish to read a lot of Tamizh books as well, therefore I would be carrying two books at a time so that boredom should not set in so easily.
3.Setting a goal every month
Setting a goal of reading atleast 3 English books and 3 tamizh books a month will gradually train me to become a voracious reader.
4. Setting a list of books in your bucket list:
Keeping a checklist of 'yet-to-read' books as well the 'currently-reading' books should motive me in achieving my short term as well as long term goals.
5. Blogging out my reviews as often as possible:
The idea of blogging out reviews is a great motivator to ensure you read books everyday.
6. Sharing what you are reading with like-minded people:
Nothing works like sharing things with like-minded friends. So I would want to make sure that I discuss my reading with my friends in FB or other paltforms say a bookclub so as to make reading always interesting and pleasurable.
I found this picture cute will browsing for quotes on 'Reading'!
Looking forward on becoming an avid reader soon!
