Problem

In this modern world, people often feel they are too busy to read a book.

Non-book readers:

About a quarter of American adults (24%) say they haven’t read a book in whole or in part in the past year, whether in print, electronic or audio form. Who are these non-book readers?

(Pew Research Center, 2018)

Busy people:

Are we too busy or do we perceive ourselves as too busy? If we find untapped time what do we usually do with it? Probably look at our phones because we always have them with us. Well why not expand your mind with a book? I asked the book readers: What motivates you to read? It’s the emotional connection, their imagination, someone’s recommendation, a captivating series, self-betterment, entertainment and so on. Sometimes the hardest part is picking up a book.  Disengage with your phone and the television for a bit and make habit of it. Whether you find time on your morning commute or winding down before bed. I have the perfect tool for you to help form a reading habit. Booked!

How do busy people and non-book readers correlate?

Well…What hinders you from reading?

  • Finding the time is difficult?

  • It’s not a habit?

  • Don’t know what to read?

Booked is a mobile/smartwatch application that is meant to hook it’s users back into reading. It’s goal is to be habit forming while working alongside your busy schedule.
