There is also another part of the brain known as the Nucleus accumbens and ventral tegmental area, these parts of the brain are called the pleasure center because they are responsible for the production of a hormone called dopamine. This hormone is responsible for making humans and even animals feel pleasure.

Anytime you are happy and excited, it’s because these two brain areas are working together. The pre-frontal cortex helps you set an aim to read, the pleasure centre of the brain helps you find the activity you’re engaged in, pleasurable. Here‘s where it gets interesting. Dopamine is also released in response to rewards, so to get your brain excited about reading, promise a reward you will give to yourself after you have completed the task.

It doesn’t have to be something big, sometimes I promise myself to watch a movie I have always wanted to watch only if I finish a particular book I need to read. Right now as I am editing this book, there is a movie I downloaded yesterday night, The Queens Gambit . Although I feel the pressure to go ahead and watch it, but I have told myself that watching that movie would be the reward I will give to myself for editing a particular section of this book.

You can do the same too, it could just be anything. You can even promise yourself financial rewards. When dopamine is released consistently in response to a particular activity, your brain takes note of it, and overtime it will become dopamine dependent on that activity.

This means your brain realizes that task makes you release dopamine and overtime you will need more dopamine to be able to keep that pleasure sensation going on. To have that excitement you have to perform that task, follow the same routine. This is a brief neurological explanation of how addiction happens. And you can use this to become addicted to reading overtime , too.

The 10 Minute Rule

One of the reasons why most people don't read is because of procrastination. So this rule would help you beat this habit. It works in two ways. First, when you know you should be reading and yet don’t feel like reading , just do it for ten minutes, then you can stop. Of course, you’ll rarely stop at the ten-minute mark because you’ll have built up momentum and destroyed what was keeping you lazy: inertia.

Second ly, whenever you feel like to stop reading, just give it ten more minutes. You may not continue much past this, but giving yourself a specific deadline will make you want to finish as much as possible in that time, and also increase your producti vity.
