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?

I read 1-3 hours a day. Usually 1-2 hours reading on my Kindle before bed. Then another hour or so via audiobook while walking, doing chores, in the car etc...

But sometimes I will go through a slump, then see a book that really looks interesting and get into it.

Don't feel bad about starting a book and then not finishing it. Life's too short to read books you're not into.
