Always carry a book

Wherever you go, take a book with you, unless you know you definitely won’t be reading (like at a movie).

If there is a time when you have to wait (like at a doctor’s office or at the DMV), whip out your book and read. Great way to pass the time.

Determine Your Reading Goal

Start off by setting a goal. This goal should be articulate and backed up with a purpose.

For some, it could be a goal of reading 24 books in a year. Once you’re done placing a target figure to your reading goal, then divide them into smaller goals.

Make a List of Books for Each Month

Write out a list of the amazing books you want to read. Ask for recommendations from friends and mentors.

By being intentional about your reading list, you’ll stay focused on your ultimate goals and avoid lurking at any book that passes you by.
