Again, since it's 30 min only, it's doesn't look too daunting. If you miss a day or two, you can easy catch it up over the weekend. And 30 min over the year, that translate into 150 hours per year or something like 20-25 books per year. I need French only to read specific books for my research, so French fiction is a pure hobby for me. I'd been trying to read more fiction in French but it's only when I implemented such "low intensity" goals when I started to read it regularly.


I do the same thing and found it very helpful. My Apple Books "reading goal" is only set to 5 minutes, but I don't read for just 5 minutes. It varies widely up to 90 minutes...

When I set the threshold much higher, it would be daunting and I'd just put it off. This low intensity goal has led to me reading daily for 3 months now, whereas before it would be much more sporadic.
