Ranjit Raj: I do get where you are getting at! My bar (for reading) was set low at first because I realise that we are cognitive misers and doing/ practising new things is frustrating to all of us, especially when you suck at it initially. However as I have started reading more I think I can stick to academics and the authors (although I do realise people reread those classics again and again only to find something new)

The habit of sticking through is a learnt trait and bringing down your goals and sticking to them is necessary when you find yourself overwhelmed.

Thanks :)
