Set aside 30 minutes a day and try to keep at it regularly. If there are kids and being a good parent, this is only possible after their bed/story time. Quickly turns into a no-screen meditative quiet time for the mind before going to sleep.

Put the book(s) on the bedside table so that it is right there staring at you.

If a book isn't interesting even after first 50 pages, dump and move on to a new one. Borrow books from library so that there is a forcing function of the due date.

30 mins a day is plenty to get through 10-20 books a year easily. Read only easy/fun/interesting books until the stamina to get into tougher reads arrives.
