Pick a genre you enjoy reading or at least feel like you're getting something out of.

Don't try to force yourself to read something because you 'should.'

Personally, I read a ton, but I have somewhat narrow tastes. This just kinda came up in my life because my gf mentioned she was thinking about getting me a book for Xmas but said she wasn't sure if I would like the book she got or not. This was good intuition on her part, since I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed just any book.
If you're not sure what genre you even like, I'd recommend checking out historical fiction since it combines many different elements and interests.

Secondly, set a very low bar for success. Instead of telling yourself you're going to read 20 pages a day, tell yourself you're going to read 1. Then, if you want, stop after you finish that one page. That way, you're more likely to start since reading 1 page is a much smaller time/effort commitment.

Likewise, pick a time and place ahead of time. 'Im going to read 1 page in the afternoon while drinking coffee at the cafe by my house' is much more clear plan/goal than 'im going to read 1 page.'
That way, you have less to decide when the time comes to put your plan into action, and won't be as affected by descision fatigue or choice paralysis.

These threads should be revived

try fast reading , you can use your finger like a kid but its okay becuase you know how to read now.

I have no habit lol, I lived as a rotting Hikki with my parents and they annoy the heck out of me but at least they're not so brutal to kick me out, but they gonna retire soon and move out (they had me when old af) so I guess it's time to become a wagie. I applied for welfare and got a couple interviews lined up (lied on my resume).

Everyone has habits. Some are just shitty and lead nowhere.

Boomers really really did raise a generation of failures.

went for a 'trial' but didnt get called back, oh well. Back on da job hunt.

ok ok I got a job for real this time. It's at a food processing plant. Back hurts from standing all day but hopefully my body gets conditioned to it. Next goal other than to keep the job is to find a place to stay.

I've been sleeping very well these past few days. I've focused on my hobbies for a bit, and did some work on my cars. There's a feeling of fixing my life as I fix a machine. I've gone to sleep very content and woke up early to get ready for the next day. This is the best break in work I've had in years.

If you read about Mike Tyson's life, you'd know that there are severe doubts about his conviction, especially because he had a shit lawyer. The man isn't the image people had on him in the ring. He was scared most of the time, and that's why he was so brutal when fighting. Mike Tyson is very much a product of his upbringing, but he's actually a complex character. Let's grant you that he raped a woman in the 90s. Is Mike Tyson that same person? I'd say no.
