Challenge
Twenty minutes a day adds up to around ten hours in a month. Doing it with friends makes the minutes actually happen.
Log the minutes you read. The day counts once you reach 20.
Any format counts: paper, e-reader or audiobook, as your group agrees.
Only days inside the challenge dates count towards the leaderboard.
Most completed days wins. Ties share a place.
Reading is easy to postpone because there is always something louder. A shared challenge gives it a daily slot and a little social pressure.
A time target is fairer than pages: a dense book and a light one take the same 20 minutes. It also keeps the focus on the habit, not the speed.
It works well for book clubs and teams. Everyone reads their own book, and the leaderboard keeps the pace.
Week 1
Pick a fixed moment: before bed, on the commute or with morning coffee. Keep the book where that moment happens.
Week 2
Swap one scroll session for reading. It is often exactly the 20 minutes you were missing.
Week 3
Have a backup: an audiobook for busy days keeps the streak alive.
Week 4
Share what you read in a note on your check-in. Your history becomes a reading log.
