New Reading Plan

I'm going to stop counting pages as I read. Usually, I map out 10 pages (sometimes less) in a specific book and tell myself that I need to read them before I can do anything else. The problem is that often I fell overwhelmed by that many pages and then my mind keeps wandering and I end up wasting a bunch of time and getting myself all frustrated (even if its a book that I am interested in and excited about reading). Then I feel like I need a break from homework even though I haven't really done anything.

So, here's my new plan. I've already mapped out how many pages I have to read in each book by a certain day in the week (which I think is necessary). So today, what I'm going to do (and have been doing for the last couple hours) is to pick up a book and start reading. If I get bored or I have a hard time focusing, I'm just going to switch to another book or do another needed task. Then I will just read books and switch back to them eventually until all the reading I need to do is done (well, at least thats the hoped-for outcome). I figure that this way I'll get less frustrated and waste less time and therefore get more done and feel like I'm doing less work. And knowing my brain, I'll probably get more out of the reading, too.

We'll see how it goes.... wish me luck!
