I used to read alot devouring books on the bus to school/work (almost like the movement help my dyslexia 😂) but recently I have been struggling to get into books having not been able to get past the first few chapters. Do yous have tips or methods for when you're in a bit of a reading funk?

I have periods where I don't read much, and then periods where I devour books. What I do to read consistently is to try and read 10 pages a day at least. For me the resistance to start reading becomes easy to break and oftentimes I end up reading more than 10 pages. But some times 10 pages is all, and that's ok.

So maybe set a rule for yourself to read x amount of pages, or to read for a set amount of time.
