We tell others to read for twenty minutes a day. But do they know what this looks like? Do they expect boredom, or even frustration? Why do they expect more to be happening while they read? Here, I simply read for twenty minutes. I printed this book and like to use a pen to take notes. You can hear the crickets outside the window and see a new empty bookcase behind me. I hope to fill it with some good books.
Reading, writing, and thinking often look like nothing. That's because the changes happen inside you. Learning is often invisible to the eye, just like kindness and so many important things. What lesson are we giving by routinely adding excitement and exaggeration? You don't need to be sensational while learning and growing.
