Tips for Staying Consistent
- Same time each day — pair your reading with morning coffee or an evening wind-down.
- Don't worry about falling behind — skip ahead to today's reading if you miss a day. Grace, not guilt.
- Keep a journal — jot a one-sentence takeaway; it deepens retention more than you'd expect.
- Tell someone — an accountability partner doubles your odds of finishing.
