dont put too much pressure on urself

sometimes i don’t read for MONTHS. soemtiems (right now) i can read 2 novels in a day (but i am a fast reader so don’t use this as a metric). it’s ok to take it slow and read for 5 minutes a day. even if it’s not a book. like a nice article or something. get the gears turning again. also my roommate LOVES audiobooks she’s a freak about them so that could be a nice way to read if you tend to get distracted. but yeah i think the biggest thing is do not pressure yourself to do more than you can because it will become a chore and reading shouldn’t feel like a chore. maybe read once a week. who knows schedule it around your life
