Reading is still in fashion in 2022. It does not really make any difference if you are reading a physical or digital book. Getting through a year with a lot of books finished in itself is a huge achievement. Even though several studies prove that an average person can only finish 12 books a year, some readers are devoted to their reading goals, even reaching up to more than 40 books. In the age of instant gratification and receding attention spans, reading a book might be a thing of the past. Yes, it is true that sites such as YouTube have lots of videos that can summarize the gist of the main points of a particular book, but it does not beat the experience of reading the book cover to cover. Here are several ways bibliophiles can get around their reading goals.

The first step in setting your reading goals is to set a time or schedule for reading a book. Nothing beats good time management. As aforementioned, our dependence on the Internet and will hinder us from achieving our reading goals. It is suggested that before going to bed, a person should be free from distractions brought on by the Internet.

The fourth step is to sort your TBR(To Be Read) pile. Your TBR pile will be a chaotic amalgam of your reading backlogs and newly acquired titles if you keep on adding new titles without organizing them in the manner when you will read them. The most efficient way in organizing your TBR pile is to add or sort a 'maybe' piles of books you might have bought on impulse. In this way, you will determine the books that you think is more worthy of your time or books listed as essential or perennial reads.
