What It Takes To Read 1 Book Every 4 Days
The habits that helped me read 81 books in one year
So many of my friends complain that they WANT to read, but have been unable to stick to a book that holds their attention.
The saddest part is — many of them USED TO BE readers in school, but have gotten so engrossed in the world of blog posts, TV shows, and infographics online, that they have no time for books.
To be honest, till 2018, I was on the same boat.
All my life, I’ve been a reader. When I was a child, I used to borrow three books from the school library each week and make it a point to finish them. But then, college happened, and with it, came so many burdens I was unable to shake off my shoulders — assignments, exams, tutorials, classes — burdens that left no time for reading.
After college, when I started working, there was even lesser time to devote to what had been my first love. In fact, there were a few years in between where I barely read 5 books. I had no energy, no motivation, and what had been a part of my identity, slowly got reduced to being nothing more than a luxury — one that I would prioritize lesser than watching a movie or going out with friends.
But, I missed reading.
