Always support the library!

I've gone from hating reading to loving it, yet still finding it hard to look forward to (it still felt like a chore.) But I recently started to underline and make notations in books, which, I noticed, made me so much more involved with the text. And it kind of feels like I'm on a treasure hunt for words and sentences I like. (In the beginning, it did feel like I ruined the book. So it took some getting used to. But now it's all good.) My point👐: interacting with the book makes me look forward to reading, which makes me a better reader. 👍

Agreed.

To expand on your point of flexibility a bit, something that helped me was not kicking myself for failing to reach my reading goals. If I aim to read one chapter of a certain book a day, but if for whatever reason I go two days or two weeks without picking it up, it used to bother me and I'd beat myself up over it so much that it'd eventually sour my experience enough to just stop reading it entirely. Read regularly, yes, but understand that your reading habits will fluctuate, and that's perfectly okay. Who cares if it takes you a month to read a two hundred page book or a week to finish a seventy page short story? And to those worried about forgetting details of the story between breaks: you're gonna forget a bunch of details like two days after finishing the damn thing anyway. Great video, man. Great tips here.

I have to thank youtube for suggesting your video for me ... keep pushing ❤
