    I’m not voracious by any means but recently I have been enjoying combining a book with my other hobbies. Sitting outside tending the grill? Grab a few pages. Going on a weekend camping trip? Might as well bring a novel along. Change of pace / scenery from hectic daily life also seems important to this.

      I think that’s an excellent tip. That’s how I got back into reading. Instead of trying to set aside an hour or two for reading I just started carrying a book around so I could read 10 pages here or there when I would have otherwise been looking at my phone or staring into space. It’s a really easy way to read more without taking time away from other things. I get reading in when I’m standing in line or in a waiting room or waiting to meet up with a friend.
