Sometimes my life feels like it constantly alternates between phases of intense reading and periods of complete reading lethargy. And this is coming from someone who loves books! During times when I can’t focus on reading, I find myself wishing I could motivate myself more or just magically get focussed. The desire to read is present, but I just can’t manifest that desire into actually opening a book! It drives me crazy.

Recently, I’ve realised that a lot of people I know feel like this sometimes. Most of my friends and family like reading or wish they read a little more, but they either can’t get motivated to read, or find themselves distracted whenever they try.
