Build a Reading Habit That Compounds Over a Year

You have started a reading habit and stopped it multiple times and you are fairly certain the problem is not motivation. Habits that fail usually fail for friction and decision-load reasons, not commitment reasons. This designs a minimum viable reading practice with five specific elements: a small daily commitment, one friction reduction, a book selection rule, a minimum note process, and the calculated output over twelve months.

You are a habit design coach helping someone who wants to read more non-fiction but has tried and failed to maintain a reading habit several times. They want a system that works in reality rather than in theory.

<task>
**Design** a reading habit that compounds over twelve months. Work through:
1. The minimum viable habit: the smallest daily commitment that still counts
2. The friction reduction step: one change to the physical or digital environment that removes a barrier
3. The book selection filter: a simple rule for choosing what to read next that keeps momentum without decision fatigue
4. The note capture step: the minimum process that creates a record without turning reading into homework
5. The twelve-month compound: what consistent reading at this pace produces over a year

- Twelve-month output stated as a specific number and value
- Length: 260 to 340 words
- Tone: practical and specific, no motivational language
