Have a designated time later in the day/night that you dedicate reading to. Even if it's something like an hour before you go to bed. Be sure to be punctual and don't drag your feet; it is too easy to promise the eternal 'later' that never arrives. If possible, read in the same place every time you're at home. You will soon come to associate a particular time and place with reading and it will make things easier. From Aristotle to Mill to James, habit has been recognised as a powerful ally when you guide it—and a powerful enemy if let run amok.
When you are reading, try to minimize distractions and potential distractions. Impulse and temptation are powerful forces, and it is commonly thought that one simply needs will away temptations when they arise. But in truth, it is the fool who matches wits between his willpower and his impulse; the wise man fights his impulses before they have influence on his mind. The enemy of impulse is foresight, as you can prepare for future temptations and avoid them, without ever being under their sway. No doubt a stern constitution and an iron will helps, but we aren't all so blessed. The prudent man stacks the deck in his favour so that when his mettle is tested, it always comes out on top.
If possible, put your phone in another room our out of reach in the same room. If you cant do that, put it out of your sight or in your pockets. The goal is to set a scenario where indulging in temptations are more costly than any potential benefit. Sloth here is your friend. Do something similar with other distractions.
While reading, hold in the back of your mind a conscious will not to be distracted. If you're reading and you find yourself drifting, consciously stop yourself and return to reading. If you need to get up and do something, hold in your mind that you will do that one thing then return to reading. It is easy to let one thing become another and so on, and let time escapes in an orderly procession of small distractions. You must always be on guard. Something like playing lyricless music can also help keep you from getting distracted/bored (as long as the music itself isn't too distracting).
Finally, if you're feeling bored while reading, it may just be that you aren't interested in what you're reading about. Try to find where your interests lie and don't force something that doesn't want to happen. I can tell you that when you find something you're genuinely interested in, you will need no external motivation to read it—it will be as if you were struck by lightning and compelled to read.
Discipline is simply the prudent application of effective habits and heuristics. You can be either a slave to your mind or it's master, but you are not destined to be one or the other—which one you become is your choice.
