Setting a reading goal is exciting, whether it’s a book a month or a growing stack for the year ahead. The trick to actually reaching it is creating a simple system that keeps you motivated and makes reading part of your routine. Here are some of our best tips to hitting your reading goal.
Track
Start by tracking what you read. Our free Reading Log Digital Download helps you keep your books organized with space to record the author, title, rating, date finished, goals, and personal reflections. Seeing your progress build over time can be so motivating, and even a one sentence reflection on what you’ve read helps each book stick with you a little longer.
Accessorize
Small tools can also make your reading habit easier to maintain. Keep your place with our new Make Your Mark Bookmark so you can pick up right where you left off—perfect for squeezing in a few pages during a commute or right before bed.
Routine
Make reading a part of your daily routine. Use the Habit Tracker to mark each day you spend time reading, even if it’s just ten minutes or ten pages. A simple visual reminder can help you stay consistent and turn reading into a daily ritual.
Reflect
For readers who like to engage more deeply, keeping The Notebook nearby is a great way to capture favorite quotes, ideas, or passages you want to remember. Highlight meaningful lines with a Mildliner Highlighter, then note your thoughts in the margins or in your notebook. And if you prefer to keep your books pristine, the Perfection Pencil is perfect for lightly marking passages or writing down page numbers to revisit later.
The most important thing to remember is that reading goals aren’t about speed—they’re about consistency. Track your books, keep a bookmark close at hand, and build a routine that works for you. With a few thoughtful tools and a little daily time set aside, you’ll be surprised how quickly your reading list starts to grow.
