Not sure I agree with this, especially 2 and 6. Mainly because I feel like it goes against 8. To me anything I have to 'hold myself accountable' to isn't necessarily fun. Same goes for reading goals. I feel like it sets yourself up for failure and makes reading a chore.

We constantly get posts on the sub about people saying "Help! I can't reach my 30-books-a-year goal! What can I do?" Like just read when you want to.

These tips and tricks make it sound like a workout routine, which is absolutely isn't.

Honestly the ones I think are good are 1, 4, 5 and 8. Reading is an entirely organic thing and I feel like the reason so many people are put off by reading is because of expectations put on people during school.

This is it, you have to cultivate a good relationship with reading. A relationship that is ruined by school for so many.
