Finishing Books

One of the challenges with reading a book is finishing it. When starting a book, it’s fun and exciting to explore the world brought to life by the pages. But as the days pass and we try to progress, things can get in the way. Chores, obligations, work, tiredness, etc. Then when we return to that book, it’s all that more challenging to finish.

I try to stick to a rule where I read a certain number of pages/chapter(s) a day. If I find myself unable to meet the goal, I will adjust the page/chapter count to make it more manageable. Using a book app that measures your reading progress can be helpful, as well. After you’ve reached your goal, you can either keep reading or stop. I find this helpful as a way not just to measure my progress, but to encourage me to read each day.
