For everyone who has struggled to get back to (into) reading (again)... here are six tips:

Keep your phone at a distance

Read physical books (& take notes)

(re)train your brain for reading

Find your best place for reading

Don't treat reading as a chore

Sometimes audiobooks or TV are a fair substitute for reading...

To this list I'd add: don't worry about abandoning books you're not enjoying!

Read should be a joy!
