How I did it: I promised myself, and God, that I would read the Bible daily.  I reminded myself daily that if TV, computer work, going out, etc., were important enough for me to find the energy to do, how much more important it was for me to stay in touch with my Heavenly Father and Honour Him.  So I read my Devotion Bible each night before bed.  It is calming to go to sleep on, I am relaxed to close my eyes and my prayers are quiet because by nightfall everywhere is usually quiet.  It was far easier than I thought and definitely rewarding.  I can't go a day without it.
If you are too busy to read your Bible, maybe you are too busy.

Lessons & tips: Make a promise to yourself.  And remember to not make promises you cannot keep.
Keep in mind what is the most important aspect of your life.
If you are too busy for God, maybe you are too busy!
If you want a closer walk with God, remember what it takes to get that.

Resources: Devotion Bibles are great.  You open it up and read a devotion and it tells you what page to go to for the next day's devotion.
Determination that God is my first priority over TV, the computer, and so on.
