Reply to comment by oridol in How to stick to just one book at a time? by BeyondRecovery1

Interesting. How did you feel on days where you didn’t want to read that book/topic?

The new challenge here is I need to sit down for the law school exam studying. So I’ll be doing shit load of reading as is. Sigh.

I do wish to improve my attention span though.

My bookshelf distracts me too. And I don’t want to give away any books as I just added to my collection.

Given it's a challenge, I just stick with it even if I don't feel like it. If I really just can't bear to read it, then I either DNF it (because let's be honest, if you can't be bothered to read a page or two, then you're probably not as interested in the book as you might think) or I just tack on that day's reading to tomorrow's goal with the knowledge that I'll either have to read more the next day or extend my deadline.

It's really about the self discipline over anything else.
