How I did it: I read 50 books whenever I could.  Some days I read a lot.  Others I didn't read at all.  Most days I read at least a little (maybe 15-20 mins).  I took advantage of good times to read - while traveling, before bed, after work but before dinner, etc.

Lessons & tips: Keep trying with this goal.  Some years I barely make it, but it's always worth trying.  If you like to read and can read relatively quickly, 50 books is a good goal.

If you get bored with a book, read something else and come back to the other book later.  This way you don't get slowed down by one book you just aren't in the mood for.  If you really can't get through a book, give up on it and read something else you enjoy.

Resources: My Kindle and various books I own or were loaned to me.
