Daily reading challenge

Get in the habit of exploring interesting topics in-depth. Read 20 pages or spend 20 minutes reading a book of your choice each day for 7 days. This challenge is designed to teach you discipline by committing to a daily reading habit, helping you step away from technology, and focusing on an activity that doesn’t give you instant gratification.

what to expect

As you commit to daily reading, you’ll find your focus and improves, and you may discover new interests or genres you enjoy. By the end of the week, you could finish a book or make significant progress in one you’ve been meaning to read.

difficulties

You might find it hard to carve out time in your schedule or maintain concentration. Sticking to your reading goal can be tough if you’re not used to dedicating time to this activity. Finding a quiet, distraction-free space might also be a challenge. The initial pages or minutes might feel tedious as you settle into the habit, but once you push through, you should become fully immersed in the book.

tips for success:

  • Choose a book that genuinely interests you.
  • Set a specific daily reading time.
  • Find a quiet, distraction-free place.
  • Inform those around you to avoid interruptions.
  • Turn off or silence devices.
  • Read thoroughly, not just to reach 20 pages.

remember

If you’re not used to sitting down and reading regularly, there will likely be days when it’s the last thing you want to do. This is not supposed to be easy—it’s a challenge.
