I’ve recently started decluttering all of my books, and it made me realise just how many I’ve owned for years but never read. They were sitting on the shelf, collecting dust, waiting for “the right time.”
That time never came.
So I’ve decided to change that. I’m creating a sustainable reading habit that works long-term – something I can stick to every day, even when life gets busy.
