It can be hard to get through books when you’ve fallen out of practice.

Here are a few tricks that can help you read more - and become more relaxed, empathetic, and mentally fit to boot:

#1 Download books to your smartphone

It’s easier to find time to read if you always have a book on you.

It‘s also a way to avoid getting sucked into Facebook and Twitter.

#2 Set a daily reading goal

It helps you break big books into manageable chunks.

Simply choose an amount of time to devote to reading each day.

#3 Set a time to read

Researchers have found that reading before bed can help you de-stress and unplug.

And if you set a time each day when you read, you’re more likely to make churning through books a part of your regular routine.

#4 Keep a stack of tempting books on hand

A pile of books on your nightstand is a visual reminder of your goal.

Keep a stack of books wherever you tend to spend the most time, such as the coffee table in the living room or the kitchen nook.
