For a few weeks, I was buying new books, starting new books, but it did not feel like I was making much progress towards finished any of them. When I reflected on this, I decided to write 1-sentence long reading commitments for each of the different books I was most interested in reading. For example:
- I will read 2 chapters per week from Book A;
- I will read 1 chapter per day from Book B;
- I will read 7 chapters from Book C on Sundays.
Now, finishing the books is no longer so important because I’m looking more about the tactics of readings. I’ll need to face these commitments on a daily and weekly basis. But what’s most important is that feels like I’m back to a place where I can enjoy the process of reading.
