Some tips that have worked for me: 1. Have multiple books going. I find a combination of multiple nonfiction books and one fiction book works. Often when I don’t want to read, I actually just want to read something else. It’s ok to not finish a book if you’re not enjoying it. 2. Use technology to your advantage. I find ebooks helpful. More helpful are audiobooks. I use Libby which allows me access to 18,000 audio books and way more ebooks through my local library for free. I find going for an hour walk while listening to nonfiction very helpful for remembering things because I have a location memory attached to the book memory. The two week loan period also adds just enough pressure for me to make finishing a priority, especially when something else I want to read is coming up. 3. Ramp up. I was out of practice and had to rebuild my focus. I find an hour the sweet spot for making progress through books and fitting into my schedule. Some days, I can hit multiple hour chunks. With audiobooks, it can be way more. With that said, some days I have too much going on and I’m not going to read as much. If I’ve put in 15 minutes and I can’t get into it, I move on try again later.
