Make sure that you always have a book to hand wherever you are. It'll make it easier to squeeze in some reading whenever you have a spare few minutes whether that's on the train, the bus, or waiting at the dentist.

No matter how busy your schedule, try to squeeze in a spare few minutes in your day to read - it could even be while you're on the loo! Leaving the house and no room in your bag? You don’t need to carry around a hard cover; you can download a book onto your smartphone or reading device. Picking up a book can be so much more rewarding than checking your social media newsfeed.

2. Get into a regular habit

Make reading part of your daily routine by scheduling a regular time each morning or evening to dive under the covers. Creating a routine each day will soon make reading become a habit.

A great technique if you are short on time is to read in sprints. All you have to do is set a timer and read until time is up. This is also a really great tip if your mind tends to wander while you are reading, as it will help keep you focused.
