Read the first chapter of a new book.

Whether it’s a book from your shelf that you never started, or one that you borrow from a library, read the first chapter. Find a time that you would normally scroll on your phone or distract yourself in different ways, and fill that space with your reading time.

Task length: 20-40mins

ALTERNATIVE: If you have reading difficulties, read or sound out the first page of the book. Pick your favourite sentence and repeat it to yourself. Why do you like that particular sentence? What words did they use that really draw you into it? Take your time, the task length is just a suggestion, not a schedule.
