Mondays are notoriously the worst.
You've just come back from the weekend and, whether your week entails school or work (or both!), most people aren’t ready to jump back into all of those responsibilities. Along with these responsibilities comes a whole manilla folder of reasons you think you need to put off reading.
This is where I come in with Motivation Mondays.
Motivation Mondays (should we call them MMs?) will be a new weekly installment along with the posts going up during the rest of the week.
These posts are going to be for YOU. Every Monday I will give you a hint into my own struggle with reading motivation and how I escape it in order to keep moving along my list of to-reads. I may also throw in a new favorite book in there as well!
Today, we are going to talk about worries that reading may be a distraction. I’m not saying that it isn’t, because without a good dose of time management, it definitely can be.
But it doesn’t have to be.
I know that with school and work taking up the majority of my time, it’s hard to see picking up a new book as worth my (very precious) time.
But, here’s something you might have heard before: reading is good for you.
There are health benefits that you can look into that just might help you get out of that state of mind that reading isn’t the best thing for you. Spending an hour or two of your day reading a book of your choice instead of getting started on that paper that isn’t due for three weeks, may just relieve some of your stress.
So, let’s meet here on Motivation Mondays and remind each other to keep reading! Let me know what (or who!) your best reading motivator is in the comments.
I’ll be reading. What about you?
