Remember, it's not about willpower, it's about transitioning to a way of doing things that better facilitates reading for longer and more consistently. Laziness points at willpower and implies you're choosing not to use it. But you obviously have a desire to do it, so that can't be the whole problem. Something, or things, are in the way.
A great example of this kind of thing which pertains to exercising, not reading, but is similar in spirit. I remember this streamer/youtuber who had a treadmill he could use while playing video games at his computer. By having the treadmill right there, he was far more likely to do exercise. Whereas if he had it off to the side, it was easy to not get around to it.
