Article: Nothing else. Just read. Create reading triggers: tie your reading habit to specific routines that run throughout your day.  Read on the train to work; read during meals; read in the bathroom; read before bed. Read whenever you have ten minutes to spare, and you will begin to form a habit. Read a certain amount of pages to start the day--say, 10-20 pages each morning. Pick up your book as you wake, or flip pages as you sip your morning coffee. Let reading be the first thing you do each day, before the distractions and complications of life begin to buzz about your brain. Read before bed. You may not want to process heavy or complex information before bed, but you can relax your mind with stories before you go to sleep each night. This is a great way to get into the habit. Try to read for at least half an hour at a time. Let yourself be drawn into the pages to the point that you aren't thinking about anything else. If you have somewhere to be, set an alarm--but avoid checking your phone. The goal is to achieve a flow state. Be here, now, and focus only on the words that fill the page. Eliminate as many distractions as possible so you can focus on reading.  Sit somewhere comfortable and lose yourself what you're reading. Block out all thoughts of past and future, and try not to think about work. There will be time for everything, and you will do everything that you need to do--but right now, you are reading. Silence your phone, and consider turning it off. If you need to be somewhere, consider setting a timer so that you don't feel the need to check your phone. Before you read, take care of any obligations that may distract you. Feed the animals, reply to your emails, take out the trash, and put everything in order. Order your surroundings so that you can order your mind. ace. Read away from people, traffic, distractions and loud noises, and you may find it easier to become absorbed in your book.  Read in a park, in a library, or in a quiet room. Read at home or read in a coffee shop. Choose a place that allows you to forget about the outside world. Turn off the television and close your Internet browser. Screen yourself away from extraneous information to deepen your immersion into the book you're reading. If you can't find a quiet space, wear headphones to block out surrounding noises. Play soothing music at a low volume. Consider using a noise-generating website like Rainymood (http://www.rainymood.com/) or Simply Noise (http://simplynoise.com/). You may find it hard to focus on reading at first, but over time you will get better at it. The more you read, the easier it will become.  Commit to reading every day for a week, even if you only read for 20 minutes each day. Once you've read every day for a week, commit to reading every day for a month. Gradually increase the amount that you read in each sitting. Start small; don't intimidate yourself with something too weighty from the offset, or you may procrastinate. Start reading something that you know you will finish, and then finish it. Build confidence and work your way up, slowly, to heavier texts. Consider breaking your reading into natural increments: say, commit to finishing a chapter each time you sit down to read, or read until the next natural stopping place. If you're reading an adventure story, for instance wait to lay down your book until the characters go to sleep for the night. Immerse yourself in the story. You can read e-books on a Kindle device, or you can download the texts directly onto your phone or computer. However, be aware that some studies have indicated that you may not get as much out of reading when you use an e-reading device.  E-books are convenient if you don't want to carry a heavy book around. You can carry a vast and diverse library in the pocket of your jeans, read whenever you have a spare moment, and pick up exactly where you left off. Check out Project Gutenberg, which offers thousands of free e-books. These apps speed the reading process by blocking out subvocalization--the act of saying words aloud in your head as you read them--and firing words into your brain at a rapid pace.  The average human reads around 200 words per minute. Speed-reading apps allow you adjust your words-per-minute intake on a slider, from very slow (less than 100 words per minute) to blisteringly quick (as much as 1000 words per minute).  Many of these apps exist, and they are usually free to use or download. Try Spritz (http://www.spritzinc.com/) or Spreeder (http://www.spreeder.com/). Bear in mind that the more quickly you must process information, the less you will be able to retain. There is a reason that we naturally read at the speeds that we do. Speed-reading apps are great for burning through large swaths of information quickly, but they may not aid your reading comprehension.

Article: This should make it clear that you want to be more than the booty call. If you've been having sex with someone, but you rarely see each other outside of that, raise the subject of spending time together without sex. Ask the person if they want to go get lunch or dinner, see a movie, or do something else that involves interacting without getting physical. If someone views you as just a booty call, they may leave after sex. If you want to show them you're interested in more, ask them to spend the night at your place.  Invite them to stay over. If they ask to come over after work, say something like, "That would be fun. Do you want to stay over this time? It would be nice to spend some more time together." There's always a chance the person will decline. This may be a sign to you that it's time to move on. If someone is unwilling to spend a night with you, they may be more interested in an occasional booty call than a real relationship. If someone does not know what you want, they may think you're okay with just being the booty call. After you've seen someone a few times, introduce the issue of what you personally want out of a relationship. If something casual is not your thing, let them know. If they call you up for what seems like a booty call, redirect this.  For example, say you get a text late at night asking if you want to come over. Respond with something like, "I'd rather do something another time. Are you free for lunch or dinner this week?" This shows the person you're not interested in just being the booty call and would rather get to know them. If the person does not respond to the text, they may not be interested in a real relationship. At this point, you've both made it clear what you want. While it can hurt to have someone disengage with you, at least you know you're free to look for someone interested in a real relationship. If you find being the booty call hurtful, or feel that you're being used, say so. You're well within your right to express yourself if you're feelings are hurt, especially if you're being led on. If someone continually assures you you're more than just a booty call, but does not treat you accordingly, speak up.  For example, say you've made it clear you do not want to be the booty call. Despite this, the person keeps calling and texting late at night. While they promise they'll take you out on a real date, they keep blowing you off and changing plans. At this point, say something. Say something like, "I've made it really clear this isn't the kind of relationship I want and I feel like you keep violating my boundaries. This is really hurtful and it isn't okay."
