How to Become a Consistent Reader?

Reading books is essential to human growth as a study suggests, because 85% of millionaires read two books in a month. Very often for these successful people reading becomes really challenging as they have very complex schedules for a particular day. However, since they are already voracious readers and know its benefits, they do not completely stop reading and instead decrease from reading multiple books to 2 as mentioned earlier. So, as students or early professionals, it is really essential that we read and enhance our knowledge everyday to become a better version of ourselves. Unfortunately, technological advancement has really slowed down the reading habits of people across the globe. In this way it can simply be put that if you want to earn then, first learn, because learning is an indication of success in future. Now let us learn some ways to start reading:

??Implementation Intentions

??This concept was propagated by psychologist Peter Gollwitzer. It is also called the If-Then Plan. In this method we plan and schedule in advance to perform a specific task with the terms of If which is then followed by Then. This is because we all have a bad habit of procrastinations. We think about doing so many things but are hardly able to complete one. For this reason this formula is very effective.

??Chunking

? This is another very important technique to read religiously and consistently. If we are given a big task then often we may lose our interest or probably we will commence doubting our abilities. Instead of that if the task is divided into smaller parts and given to us accordingly then the same complete task will look interesting and easily doable. This is human nature that we tend to lose interest in something which continues for a very long time without enough halt. So next time when you are going to start doing something just try to divide it into smaller parts.?

Temptation Bundling?

???This is another very practical and useful tip that can help learners to make reading habits. Many times it is seen that a student wants to make a reading habit but whenever he sits with a book he feels very nervous or irritated and hence closes the book and opens Facebook. Whenever there is a conflict of interest between productive and unproductive aspects then mostly unproductive wins as in the case of opening Facebook. Temptation Bundling is to put it simply is to bundle something which is enjoyed with something which is dreadful and yet needs to be done. For example, you do not like to read but you enjoy sitting in the park, then you can carry your book or device to the park.

? These three methods though look very simple yet they are really very effective and can make a good habit of starting reading. With time and consistency it will be easier to read and finally a time will come when force will not be required to read. This may sound tough but it is really achievable.?
