I use a habit tracker, and start reading 1 page a day, increasing by 1 per day, until it reaches unsustainable levels. Then I back off a bit until it's comfortable, right now that's 20-35 pages a day. I also recommend splitting theory and fiction, theory in the morning and fiction at night (or however works best for your schedule). Fiction is super fun and important for engaging with theory! Keeps reading interesting.
I don't like them, but audiobooks are super useful for others too!
Yeah I really should get on audiobooks / or podcasts when I paint. Which seems like it would be a cheatcode since you are suddenly super productive.
I usually read around 50-60 pages when I read . Helps me to immerse myself when I read a proper block and I get a bit into the zone. Reading can be really fun to me at times as well.
