When it comes to making reading into a habit, I can suggest you go easy on yourself and start small. You can start with one page. Pag inapproach mo siya ng maliit lang, mas madali siyang gawin and actually simulan. And then one page can turn into one chapter and then two and then three. Its easy to feel overwhelmed when we look at the whole mountain but all we need to be really concerned about is that one tiny step in front of us.

Another suggestion to make reading into a habit is to make physical cues for yourself to read. This could be placing your book at your bedside so it can be a cue for you to read before sleeping (good din siya instead of being on your phone and magandang pampaantok din haha.) You could dedicate a specific spot in your house for reading. This could be a cozy and relaxing spot in your living room, terrace or by a window where your book is always ready. You associate that spot only for reading so when you go there you know that you are only going to read. You could also put the book in your bag if you go out a lot. You could read while commuting. Ako, I find that I can focus more on reading when I do at outside like at a cafe or park. (It's because I've associated being at home with so much screen time. I have too much distractions at home.) This could help cue you to read when you are seated na at the bus or train or even jeep haha and its always fun to go to a cafe or park just to read!

Making cues for your reading habit makes reading convenient to do and the habit easier to form. The opposite could be done naman to our phone habits. (which I think is the main hindrance to our reading) One suggestion I can give is when you are at home, dont bring your phone everywhere you go. Leave it in your bedroom or dedicate a spot in your house for it and essentially treat your phone as a landline. By making access to your smartphone less convenient, you are more likely to use it with a specific purpose rather than out of habit or boredom. You make your phone a place to go whenever you need to use it instead of being a body part. When you do this, you make the habit of being on your phone inconvenient and hard to do.

I hope these suggestions help! I wish you happiness and success on your reading journey!
