Read ten pages of a book

Open a book you chose and read ten pages without checking your phone.

Why it helps

Reading in small daily portions adds up to many books a year. Steady reading also builds vocabulary and the ability to follow a longer line of thought.

How to do it

1. Pick a book you actually want to read, not one you feel you should.
2. Put your phone in another room or on silent.
3. Read ten pages, then place a bookmark where you stopped.

Make it easier

Read two pages.

Make it harder

Read twenty pages and write one sentence about what stood out.
