I need some motivation to read.

I was supposed to read at 12:00 but it's currently 12:26 and I'm scrolling through youtube I need some motivation bro.

I never need motivation to read, only to do chores. :)

it can be hard, but just be intentional. put down your phone and pick up the book. never underestimate the power of intentionality. you could also move spaces

I just did that 5 hours ago and finished a new favorite book!!!

Are you reading for a class or a training?

I love to read, but I've always had problems reading for classes and trainings. I don't have any good suggestions, other than just start and see how much progress you can make in ten minutes.

I love reading its actually one of my only hobbies I have for more then 1 year but sometimes I want to read a book i know is good I even lay it next to me but I just can't pick it up to read even tho i read 30 pages yesterday night and it was so fun but right now I feel so unmotivated that even tho the book could be in my hand I would still scroll its so frustrating because I know that if I just open my book I could easily read it in 1 sitting :(

I mean right now I just keep scrolling through insta because I made a bookstagram 3 days ago and i refresh my page every 5 seconds incase someone follows its so stupid lmao

I get you completely, I can love the book I’m reading and yet I’ll be in let phone like an iPad kid. Usually I just read when I get the urge, which sadly sometimes doesn’t happen for weeks. When I know that I’m actually reading a book I like, I just decide to put away my phone and actually read. Sometimes I have to turn a few pages before I feel like I’m in the story again, rather than just reading words on a page, but after that I can read for hours on end. Good luck!

thanks, I think I should just read as soon as I wake up so I can keep reading instead of scrolling

I love to read everywhere I go I have a book in my hand but lately have been in a reading slump :(

[Kayla]

I just do audiobooks so I can clean or drive or anything else at the same time. it's hard for me to prioritize making time to actually sit down with a book in hand

[Killua]

@Kayla i tried audiobooks one time but. if I do something else I zone out and I miss parts of the book

If I don't feel motivated to read I usually will just find something else to do, I find that if I force myself to read I will typically not like the book or get bored with it. If it's just a reading slump then I do a few things; I reread a favorite book, watch the tv/movie adaptation of it, listen to the audiobook, watch one of my favorite book tube channels - Jessethereader, Melreads, or Brittany the Bibliophile, and last but not lease browse my own collection of books read the summary and that usually gets me motivated and in the mood to read.

I think my biggest problem is that I'm a nightreader. and I am not allowed to have my phone in my room when I go to bed so I can kind of concentrate but then I'm tired and can't read at all or I finish the entire book and then realise the sun is shining but these days I can't simply read an entire book and just read a few pages and fall asleep so I should probably go to bed earlier to read :)
