Jk! keep up the reading!

I started with ten pages per day. Although I normally have two books going..one in the car and one in the house. I seem to do a lot of waiting in the car. jennyalice www.canisitwithyou.org Great idea. I started with ten pages per day.

On an added note, the calendar I printed to do the "don't break the chain" method with is sick wicked... I photoshoped it up so that in the header next to the year there is a picture of me at my fattest (towards the end of my time in school... Iowa City was unhealthy for me in a redic way), as well as a couple of quotes I like. Added inspiration, along with the big red "X" I get every day. Not sure if that could apply to the reading goals, but i figured i'm going to stare a the thing for a year, I might as well make it work for me.

Even if I don't think it's possible to get 30 pages in a day, it would certainly be manageable for one. <strong>Andrew</strong>: That's awesome. Did you read about it on lifehacker or somewhere else?

I get a big red X through every day that I "meet my goal" on. I also use a small pen to take little notes (weight, reps, distance run). Its crazy effective... I have it on my fridge, and I see it many times a day. Almost makes me forgive Jerry for for those annoying Bee Movie "mini movie" commercials during The Office.

Now, I usually have tons of time to read and reading one page isn't a problem. But if I've had a long day or something and just really don't want to read, I force myself to read one page before going to bed. It keeps my mind on the book. I find if I skip two or more days of reading, those often turn into two or more weeks. My program is pretty simple: I try to read at least one page every night before going to bed.

My average is 20-30 pages per hour. I think I would actually like to get on a step-down program. Like maybe a chewing gum or a patch that might eventually help me kick books altogether.

I am reading through UnChristian though and started to post on it. I should join you on that journey as I have a stack myself, and I find most of my reading restricted to blogs and news.
