My head was so full of digital noise     1     it felt like my brain was about to explode. I had no greater power of concentration than a goldfish and the lifeless stare of a goldfish as well. As a writer, I was ashamed to admit that my love of books had been weakened by a brain that simply could not sit still.

So, at the start of this year I committed to restoring books to the place that they held in my life before the Internet broke my brain.

My goal was 52 books: It seemed like an impossible task. A 400-page book will take the average person around eight hours to read. Finding the time to read was a challenge but here's how I did it. Firstly, I decided to treat my mind like a child     2    (behave) badly and lay down some ground rules. Then I decided that I     3    (read) for an hour or two at a time     4     distraction each day. It was something I hadn't done in years and it was scary     5     difficult it was.

In his book, The Distracted Mind, Larry Rosen says that the more we practise spending time away from our electronic devices, the     6    (calm) and more focused we become. And this is what I found. Again and again, I would gently bring myself back to the page, resisting the urge     7    (reach) for that screen. I took inspiration from Nikki Gemmell, who describes in On Quiet, how investing in a safe to lock away her family's devices for long periods had opened up a space for deep reflection.

For me, finding that quiet time meant finding time in my day just to read. It was a date between me and my book. And it meant actively choosing to read at times     8     I ordinarily would reach for my phone.

I read on the tram, at the park, in bed at night and on lunch breaks.

    9    (renew) my love affair with books, I created a sacred space where I pressed pause and found inspiration, knowledge and reflection. In our modern world, reading for the sake of reading is not selfish. It is a powerful and beneficial way to slow down and be       10    .
