That book about productivity I thought was hype actually helped my reading
I picked up Atomic Habits last month from the library thinking it would be all fluff. But I tried the 'habit stacking' thing for my book club reading. I now read 10 pages every night right after I brush my teeth. It sounds dumb but I finished 3 books this month instead of zero. Has anyone else tried this or found a different reading trick that actually works?

Honestly, pairing it with a non-reading habit doubled my output too.

You've got to be careful with this whole habit stacking thing though... it can backfire pretty hard. @hall.ruby said it doubled their output but I tried pairing reading with my morning coffee and now I just end up scrolling my phone instead, totally breaking the chain. People get so caught up in forcing these systems that they forget reading should actually be enjoyable, not just another checkbox on a list. Honestly most of these productivity tricks just turn reading into a chore and then you burn out after a month.
