I learned to read 1 to 2 books a week simply by replacing my social media/phone addiction with reading books.

Whenever I would normally scroll endlessly through Facebook/Twitter/insta/HN I pick up one of my current books for reading. This includes time on the toilet, time waiting in queues or on public transport, solo meals, winding down in bed, relaxing in the sun after a hard day at work.




But Facebook is so much easier to consume in short intervals. With books I haven't read for a few days, I have to go back a few paragraphs.


Kudos for breaking a bad habit and replacing it with a brilliant one.
