Let’s be real—between work, family, and everyday hustle, sitting down to read can feel impossible. But if “read more” is one of your goals this year, here’s an easy way to actually make it happen:
👉 Life Hack: Use the 5-Page Rule.
Instead of trying to finish a whole book in a weekend, commit to just five pages a day. That’s it. Whether it’s in the morning while sipping coffee, during your lunch break, or right before bed, five pages is enough to stay consistent without adding pressure.
It might not sound like much, but five pages a day adds up to about 150 pages a month—and that’s a whole book in just four to five weeks.
Want to take it up a notch? Keep a book in your bag, car, or even on your phone using an e-reader or audiobook app. That way, you can read during downtime—like waiting in line, sitting in traffic, or winding down before bed.
It’s not about having more time—it’s about making the time you already have work for you.
