I read 30 mins a day, no exceptions, and this allows me to finish about 30 books a year. The best habit I successfully developed hands down!
That's an excellent policy. I also tell myself to read 30 minutes a day, but I'm not as consistent with that as i'd like to be

21 days it's all it takes to create a habit. Also you could familizarize yourself with the B=MAP framework -- I highly recommend it to up your chances for success. More on it here: https://www.habitweekly.com/models-frameworks/the-fogg-model

I’m working on the same habit for writing, an hour per day. Unfortunately, it’s not going that well as I thought.

I guess it'll be harder with writing due to it requiring more creative energy (reading is more passive IMHO), but I keep my fingers crossed for you!

I am writing scientific papers, so it’s not like I have nothing to write about, I just need to convince myself… again and again.

This sounds more like a job than a habit worth cultivating ;-)

That’s the thing, I do it on top of my “core” job, which is why I lack motivation sometimes. One hour a day dedicated to writing hopefully will bring the results.
