Explanation / Answer

I would like to acquire the habit of reading because reading provides you with lots of information, gives you pleasure, improves imagination and cognitive levels.

1. Monitor - I'm going to monitor my reading habit once week to ensure that I'm sticking to the plan and improve continuously. I'll be monitoring it for the continuity and effectiveness in reading. I'll write a report on my weekly reading in a diary.

2. Scheduling - I'm going to start with a 10 minutes reading every day before I go to bed during the first week. I'll increase 5 minutes every week so that in ten weeks' time I'll be able to read for an hour every day because if someone does something continuously for forty five days, they can make it a habit. I'm going to spend double the time to make it my habit. I'll ensure that I have an unread book all the time.

3. Convenience - I'll buy whatever I want to read so that I don't need to spend more time in travelling to find a library, thus saving more time. This will also ensure that I have the book of my taste because I may not get what I like.

4. Pairing - I'll pair listening to music which will further keep my spirits high because I'll be reading for pleasure not for grades.

5. Watch out for loopholes - I'll come across friends during the evening, I may need to stay late in the college for assignment or I may need to go for parties. During those days, I'll schedule them during the day time. I won't postpone it to another day.
