Tie it to your routine.

For example: “I can’t fall asleep without reading one page.”

3. Set a reading time and place

Find the time when you’re least distracted and can fully dive in.

Reading can bring a lot of goodness to your brain and to your life.

So next time you have a bit of free time, consider picking up a book instead of scrolling.

Encourage your loved ones to read more — their brains will thank you.
