It is funny how our minds play these tricks on us and makes it feel like reading is hardwork when it isn't. Personally I've also been having attention issues especially when it comes to books. I'd spend months without being able to finish one book while I can finish 5 movies in a day.
It's good to note that you've been able to set realistic goals and have already started fulfilling them. And Thank you for this post has encouraged me to be more.
I'm glad to hear that. I hope it leads to a bit of soul-searching and getting onto the road of improvement and staying on it.
The hardest thing is forever starting. The second hardest is accepting failure and the smallest signs of improvement as you stick to it and push forward. We're beings that love the idea of instant satisfaction, and it results in us prioritising ease over effort. It's a bad mindset to be in.
