There\u2019s a movement of people committing themselves to read 52 books for 52 weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met a guy on instagram<\/a> who nearly does this challenge, named Bjorn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture after picture, Bjorn finished so many interesting books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wondered, if I read a book a week, how would I be different? What would I know now?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In truth, I\u2019m not necessarily sure I\u2019d want read that much. I have priorities and I\u2019m a slow reader. Reading a book a week could cut into my progress. But the concept interests me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked Bjorn how much he reads. He said 7 hours per week. So I decided to commit to half of that and read 30 minutes per day for a week. It was a busy week, so even that seemed daunting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanting to get more organized, I bought the book Getting Things Done<\/a> and committed to reading it this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Did It Go <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I kept to my commitment and spent 30 minutes a day reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to say, I\u2019m not sure I enjoy reading<\/em> the book. It\u2019s really a manual. To grasp it fully, I probably need to implement the organization strategies. But I value the information because I\u2019m desperate to organize my workflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, while I wouldn\u2019t say this is a fun read, I\u2019m glad I read a good chunk of the book. And I\u2019m closer to understanding the GTD method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Did I Learn <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I learned that in 30 minutes I get around 10 pages of reading done. So I’m a pretty slow reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found it extremely hard to concentrate and I believe this is due to sleep deprivation. Which makes reading this book all the more important. I have to get my life more organized to I can get more sleep. But I also need more sleep to read the book. Hmmmm…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I probably would have enjoyed this challenge more if I read a different book. But alas, it’s not called #100DaysOfEnjoyment! Yet, I really like the book because I find the information valuable. Sometimes we have to push through the discomfort in order to get somewhere we want to be. Not sometimes, very often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
