If that\u2019s not the problem, or you have to read something you\u2019re not looking forward to, reading for just ten minutes (or ten pages) every day helps. If you carry on further then great, but if not then you\u2019ve still read for those ten minutes and maybe you\u2019ll get further tomorrow!<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-3932251662\"><div id=\"thefa-2780992790\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Take control of your life<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Giliane Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I make goals for myself. I tell myself when I should finish the book and my pace and speed of reading a book. Also if there is a movie on the book, motivate yourself to finish the book first before watching the movie. Also have a schedule of when to read, because you will get into the habit of the schedule. Hopes this helps :))<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sabrina Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For that, I always choose a book that I know I will love to read, with a story that I can\u2019t put down. I also enjoy a nice cup of hot tea or coffee with my books !<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Piss O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Forgive my name, one thing I like to try is to immerse yourself into it as soon as possible. For example, during the first two chapters or so of a book imagine it as a movie you\u2019re the narrator of. That way, you\u2019re not really reading it for yourself, but for the \u201caudience\u201d kinda. Once it picks up, it usually starts to gain its own life though and you can just be along for the ride. Hope this helps!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Manar U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I personally love reading, and started reading since I was in first grade, but you should pick books you&#39;re interested in. You could close all electronics and put them in another room, and try to read at least read 10 pages, Trust me after you read the first page you&#39;ll be hooked.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Barbara N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I put it on my to do list for the day. I love crossing off stuff so it encourages me to start reading . Once I start it\u2019s hard to stop! I guess I should put stop reading on my list as well!\ud83d\ude0a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Teobaldo Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think that you should use the fact that you like reading to motivate yourself to do it. Maybe tell yourself something like \u201cI love reading. If I open this book and start reading, I\u2019ll have so much fun!\u201d You can also give yourself a reward for finishing a book. Maybe you\u2019ll  go out to dinner, or spend time with friends. I personally love reading, so it\u2019s not hard for me to get started. I might not be the best person to answer this question, so you don\u2019t have to take my advice. Anyways, have a great day \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Arista I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start with setting a timer for 30 minutes and treat it like a challenge, daily, before you know it you will be back into the habit or you will find your self not wanting to close the book after your timer goes off. I also vote for real books I find reading on my phone or tablet is distracting, need to put ur phone away!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Romuald F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I&#39;m convinced by the desire to escape from reality and routine, and to fully immerse my self into a new story. I also think that reading helps me keep my mind active, and add more and more words to my vocabulary.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Abdulah C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Don&#39;t read any overview of the book or short summaries. Don&#39;t spoil it. Simply open the book and start page by page. Set yourself daily minimum by time or page and start doing it. Don&#39;t cheat because you&#39;re cheating yourself. First read few books you think you&#39;d like, and then when you&#39;re pushed by inertia start with books you need to read or books you&#39;re afraid to start. You&#39;ll be already near end before you realize and at the end you&#39;ll be proud of yourself and start with new book and.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lexy N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Buy a book that excites you and you\u2019ll want to pick it up and start reading. Once you are invested in that, pick up a second book you have to read or want to but aren\u2019t that excited I\u2019m. Read them side by side or at least a few chapters of the other. Once you\u2019ve finished the first, you\u2019ll just be carrying on with the second, not starting it brand new, so it won\u2019t seem so scary<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cyndi S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019ve always loved reading, but after becoming a mom 7 months ago, it\u2019s been difficult to pick it back up (other than books to read to my daughter). In the time I\u2019ve been home from work because of the coronavirus, I decided to read before bed. Then when I downloaded Fabulous, reading became part of my evening routine. Maybe make it part of yours so you just do it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Victoria T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I&#39;ve always enjoyed reading. What motivates me is how my imagination runs wild when am reading. it&#39;s not limited. and I love the feeling.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lena A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Set yourself the small goal.lf even reading for 5 minutes and then after that you&#39;ll naturally want to continue reading. Or pair reading with an activity like getting  a morning coffee which is usually done habitually<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Suhail N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Ahhh same!! Sometimes its dragging to open up a book. I start off by disconnecting from the media, make sure where I&#39;m about to sit is tidy, have a snack and a drink nearby and literally stare at the book till it somehow convinces me to start reading it. Lol. That is for a book thats not as good as i thought it would be when i picked it up. If it&#39;s entertaining you have to convince me to put it down lol.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Daiani C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You gotta find a way to evoke a feeling of anticipation. What helps me is to think about the following things: how is it going to make me feel or it&#39;s made me feel before (reading that particular book)?; what is going to be happening in my imagination and my mind?; what excites me about this book and what am I hoping to find in this book? Usually this is enough to submerge me in the feeling of excitement and I can&#39;t wait to read more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lior P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I face this problem too. Usually, what helps me is to put my phone away, disconnect from the screens, and just sit with a cup of coffee or tea. That way, I am calm and relaxed and doing nothing else. With the distractions away, I am open to something else. It may still be a little challenging to start a new book, but normally, after a chapter or two, you already have a &quot;flow&quot;.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Victoria P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">That\u2019s the same thing for me! I convince myself to start reading by thinking about all the books people have read and told me about and saying, \u201c The faster I read this the more time I will have to read that.\u201d It also helps to have a list of good books to read, so you know the book your supposed to read it super good.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Malthe P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I can\u2019t answer that question because I am mostly excited to start reading my book. Maybe you can reward yourself after you start reading your book.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Muhsina X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Pick up the books that interest you only and do it as soon as you see them. You can continue reading them or scrap it if you don\u2019t like it later on. Don\u2019t worry about finishing the others first. You don\u2019t have to complete a book before picking another. Actually, you don\u2019t have to complete a book ever unless you want to.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">T O O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to read books that teach me something. Thinking that what I learn will make me a better version of myself. So when I see the goal of being my best self it&#39;s gives me the drive to start something new.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Yana N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Find a book that you cannot wait to read. Something that you&#39;re thinking about coming back to all day. And build around it. Don&#39;t just plan to read, but plan to read with a mug of hot tea and some biscuits. So that it&#39;s something you can&#39;t wait to go do.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Riu S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I convince myself in reading by thinking of the benefit that the book or article could give me. Like the information that I can learn from it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Abigail O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I always love to read a book that I think I will enjoy, something that interests me. Also put every distraction away (phone, ext.), that will help you!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Katie O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I read mainly motivation books so I have times when I won\u2019t read at all but when I feel I need a boost I start again. I make it part of my routine, before I sleep I set aside 30minutes. I also use an acupuncture mat so they tie in nicely together. Having your book and reading glasses readily available might just do the trick. Good luck you\u2019ll do it!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hatice Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Fiction requires a lot of faith, but I\u2019ve recently gotten into reading commentary on subjects in my field, and I tend to have a quicker sense of whether it is worth reading or not<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Claudilene Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to think about the amazing benefits of reading. For me it&#39;s being able comprehend words and messages better. I also learn new words through exposure and proper grammar. These are great things for a student, or a life long learner.<\/p>\n<p>I also imagine myself into the pleasure of being lost into words. Knowing that by picking up this book, I&#39;ll be transported into a different timeline and world. Knowing that your place right now won&#39;t be of importance for the story is very peaceful. It&#39;s the amazing feeling to be reading a book, having emotions from pure words like a chuckle or a tear, and almost just living the book instead of reading the words. The great feeling of your mind automatically converting words into scenes and other senses is an experience you can&#39;t find elsewhere. An experience guaranteed to happen once you open up that book.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Daisy T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Find a boook you want to read. How to do this: I look at the front cover and read the title if that is interesting then I read the blurb at the back of the book and then if I like that I read tue the first page. If I like all that I borrow it and start reading ASAP.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alisha J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I myself struggled to pick up a book initially and believe that was because I didn\u2019t have the focus to want to want to read. The idea was always there but I would forget to do it.<br \/>\nHow I changed that was I choose to make more time for quite time I.e. less phone and tv time and took myself to a quite spot in the house made myself comfortable and finally allowed myself the time and will to read.<br \/>\nI hope this helps \ud83d\ude42 I am currently tucked into bed, locked myself away from my sisters and about to read a book myself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tracy S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The alarm of fabulous helps a lot.  Once it alarms, put down your phone and pick up the book, telling yourself that I only read 30 min then I could go back to whatever I was doing previously. I know at the end your book will keep you inside&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roger T.
