4.How to be consistent in reading
When every you start to read a book, see how many pages you can read in a day(not maximum but minimum). Example if you can read 5 pages, then during the weekly planning, for example week1 you should able to cover 35 pages (7 days x 5 pages each).
Now, let say you are starting, in page number 1 write the date 1 Jan 2021, page 6 write the next date 2 Jan 2021. etc. In this way, it will encourage you to complete the task for each day
Another way is, let say you have a 500-page book and if you want to complete in 10 days, then just divide the book Number by how many days you have. So in this example, you need to read 50pages per day. In page number 1 write the date 1 Jan 2021, page 51 write the next date 2 Jan 2021. etc.
Make sure minimum you read 12 books in a year.
Reading is a conversation.
All book talk
But a good book listens as well
