how to complete the book you started
finishing a book can be incredibly rewarding, especially when you’ve made the effort to stay consistent. the only issue is... well actually reading the book.
set small reading goals
daily pages: set a goal to read a certain number of pages or chapters daily.
chapter milestones: reward yourself after completing each chapter to keep up your momentum.
create a reading routine
set a time: choose a specific time each day dedicated to reading, such as before bed or during your morning commute.
find a quiet space: create a distraction-free zone where you can focus entirely on your book.
eliminate distractions
turn off notifications: silence your phone or put it in another room while you read.
set a timer: use a timer to focus on reading for a set time without interruptions, such as 20-30 minutes.
switch formats
audiobooks: listen to the book while driving, walking, or doing household chores to keep making progress.
e-readers: using a digital reader might be more convenient if you’re often moving around.
track your progress
use a bookmark: visually seeing how much you’ve read and how much is left can provide a sense of accomplishment.
reading apps: apps like Goodreads allow you to log your reading progress and connect with other readers.
find an accountability partner
reading buddy: partner with a friend who’s also reading or start a book club to discuss the book and motivate each other.
social media: share your reading goals or progress for additional accountability. i think i know a website called tumblr...
