when starting a new book, i can't recommend page targets highly enough decide when you want to finish the book, let's say 2 weeks. sum all the readable pages and divide by 14. that's how many pages you need to read per day. if it looks like a lot, divide your daily page count by 2 and break it up so you read half in the morning and half in the evening it might sound silly or annoying, but it's only when i do this that i get through books quickly and usually finish before my target date. after i hit my daily count it's always so tempting to read just a few more if i don't do this i don't really make as much time to read, and will be stuck drifting through books for weeks highly recommend. #bookstr
