When I set a reading goal, it's amazing what distractions come a-knocking.
The 'lunch break that could' - the one where I promised to complete an extra chapter or two - never leaves the station.
The 'let me check my email' moment morphs into an hour or two of Facebooking and/or Youtubing.
Soon, I hear, "Telephone for you!" The owner of the voice behind my closed and locked room door has forgotten my earlier request: "I'm unavailable for calls right now."
The work day has been so long and the previous night's rest so short. Soon after I open my ebook at 11pm my focus is fighting sleep, big time! Of course, sleep wins.
If I am to complete this challenge, I must not answer the distractions. For me, this challenge is not a matter of how many books you complete, but the quality time we spend reading. This is what I'm missing, quality reading time.
