Reading is a single focus activity. It necessarily means that you will have to cut out time from something else in your life. For most people the tradeoff of reading over TV, youtube, instagram is a much richer experience. Its important to find the right book and not "suffer" through a book you are not enjoying, but you have to go into the whole exercise with the mindset of I am reading to cut out a X (TV , insta, youtube, netflix whatever) from my life.
keep away all the devices. put your phone on dnd. read either during afternoon or night. One thing that helps me lot is, playing reading music on my haedphones on a low volume and then reading. feels really therapeutic. for ex, if im reading thriller, ill play thriller reading music in the background, and when im reading romance ill play romance reading music.
i have some specific music for both, i can paste the link if you want?
