How to Get Out of a Reading Rut

I’m in a bit of a reading rut. After finishing about a book a week all year, I only read a book and a half in all of September. Not keeping up my normal pace doesn’t really bother me, but it does help me see I didn’t take much time for myself this month. Self-care was one of the main reasons I wanted to read more this year. Makes total sense with the craziness of school and fall activities starting, but I’d still like to turn it around so I’m intentionally slowing down and staying off my phone. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Habits that have helped me read more in the past include:⁣⁣

  • Creating an extra cozy spot to read⁣⁣
  • Carving out weekend time⁣⁣
  • Reading at least one chapter before bed⁣⁣
  • Charging my phone in a different room ⁣⁣

Anyone else in a reading rut these days? What do you do when that happens?

Writing more soon!

Do you have a reading goal for 2022? The past two Do you have a reading goal for 2022? The past two years I’ve read about a book a week, hitting 52 books in 2020 and even more this year. I can happily say this goal is no longer a tough one for me, but a new habit and hobby that bring so much joy to my life. Part of that is this community, so thank you all! I’ll continue reading (and posting about it) just as much next year, but I’ll be focused less on quantity and more on quality. I’m excited to see where another year of reading takes me.
 
I’d love to hear what your plans for reading are in 2022! And watch for a post on my favorite books of 2021 coming soon!
