I used to think the reason I couldn’t read anymore was because the day drained me.

A friend suggested trying to read 3 days into a 1 week vacation. I couldn’t.

And from that moment I realized it was a muscle like anything else. Consuming media that requires active participation and work, that you are not rewarded for (professional learning) takes practice.

I come home tired most days but I still manage to crank out time to read.

Maybe it won’t work for you the way it worked for me, but give it a try. You might be surprised.
