I think the biggest thing is to pick a book that interests you and you can finish.
Don't try to read Homer or The Count of Monte Cristo and think you're going to stick to it. Could you? Sure. Will you? Probably not.
After that make it easy for you to read.
Don't watch TV or scroll TD after a certain time. Read instead.
Maybe you have time during the day where you could quickly pick up and knock out 5-10 pages. Do that.
If a Kindle makes that easier, get one.

This. I have stopped reading several times in my life and it was a riveting book that got me back in the habit. In college I quit reading for pleasure and then someone recommended Red Storm Rising and I could not put it down.

Great advice
Covid got me back into reading. Id fell off to not reading ag all and with nowhere to go I picked it back up
Browse Amazon or check your library out and that’s what I did
Walk down the history aisle and say “ oh the crusades.. I just watched kingdom of Heaven.. would love to know more . Or a biography of Ulyssess grant by Chernow. It’s dense but Chernow is so great of an author
Find what you like and go from there.

Bingo. If you like the reading material then you will want to read it.
Also, I take a book everywhere I go. If I get stuck in traffic, I read. On my lunch break, I read. Outside grilling, I read.
Just think about what time you spend watching TV or staring at your phone and then decide what's more important to you.

This...i fell out of love with reading because of school and the books being picked for me.
Now I read things I want to and find it way more enjoyable.
