Find a way to have a book with you at all times. Ebooks on my phone was one great solution for me - instead of endlessly scrolling social media, I could read my book. I have a book upstairs, downstairs, and in my purse, so that if I’m about to sit down and laze, I can just easily grab a book instead of scrolling while I sit, since I noticed I’d often go, “ugh, my book is upstairs, I’m not going all the way up there, oh well, tv/social media it is.”

Basically, figure out how to make reading easier for your brain and your schedule. And if you’re not enjoying a book, dump the book! Especially when you’re getting into the habit, be picky with only stuff you’re actually having fun reading. Otherwise it’ll be a chore and your brain will not want to do it.
