Yeah, I'm with you. Whatever you do, you need to like it. So many people try to start new habits like writing, reading, exercise etc, but if they don't like it, they will invariably stop before too long.

I think the first thing people need to do if they want to start a habit is find a way to like it. If you want to exercise most, then cycle to work. As you'll enjoy it more than being stuck in a metal box you've now made exercise a habit. If you want to read more, you need to find books you like and ways of reading them that you like (paper, ereader etc).

If you want to write more you need to first find a way to write that you like. You might like writing with pencil and paper. Seriously, try this. But you might prefer a WYSIWYG word processor. You need to try it. Then find something you enjoy writing. Fiction? Blogs? A private journal or memoir?

Bottom line is if you don't like something you won't keep it up.
