How I did it: Had a goal to read 50 books in one year. To stubbornly keep that goal, I had to choose reading over surfing, reading over TV. The time is usually there to do it, it's just a matter of picking reading over the other time wasters out there.

To keep myself interested, I read whatever I felt like, tried to mix it up, rather than limit myself to a pre-defined list of books.

And if I really felt bored of reading, I just picked up a really short book to make it seem like less of a chore... and that often did the trick.
