I have bought multiple books, but most of the time I don't find myself motivated to read them. Instead, I prefer to watch hour long documentaries/TED talks/programming tutorials on Youtube.

I feel that it's important to build the habit of reading books to improve my cognitive skills. Are there any tips for me please?

Nowadays I only have time to read 1) very technical books (think something close to Lion's comments on UNIX VI), or 2) parenting books.

I spent about 30-60 minutes every day.
