Personal opinion: Like most productivity tips, you don't have to hack your way into making reading a habit. A lot of the effort gets lost in the process itself. What I've found works for me is identifying the right kind of book(s) that will help me build momentum. It could be a certain writer, or a certain genre, or even a book or series that you've previously read; just start reading.

I respect this opinion, but I suspect you have an easier time getting started than I do. Whatever works.

I can relate about this problem: I love to read, but can't find the time to do so.

Mindfulness about "distraction" is the first step. We don't need more time, we need to prioritize what we do every moment of the day.

What also helped me is to switch my mental approach when reading: I don't see it as a "read it from A to Z" task.

I took the opposite approach, reading only the first 20 pages of lots of different books. It gives a wide perspective of what's available, it broaden the spectrum of knowledge. Then I rate each book so I can come back and read through the ones that look the most appealing to me.
