BOOSTING my READING consumption

After watching Cal Newport's Weekly Update #4 video on his YouTube channel I noticed a connection between what he was talking about and a frustration I am currently experiencing as it relates to my home life. I love to read but, through some recent reflection have felt frustrated that I am not reading enough while I am at home. For those of you who are new to my blog, I like to time track how I spend my time. Up until now I have been time tracking just the general amount of time spent reading using the Timery app. For example, at the end of any given week, I could pull a report that shows I read for 2 hours and 35 minutes. In an attempt to boost my reading consumption, I've decided to go a bit more gradular than just a generic "time spent Reading" timer. Again, using Cal's video as inspiration, I have broken my Reading consumption down into 3 categories; categories I've created tags for in the Timery app;

1. Intellectual...reading I deem that forces me to think, reflect, and potentially lead to content creation.

2. Leisure...reading that I do just for fun.

3. Other...reading that does not fit into the first two categories

It is my thinking that my own curiosity about the different types of reading I engage in weekly might lead me to read more!
