Last year, I had a small reading goal. My Kindle keeps track of my reading records and days, and I thought, what if I could read for 90 consecutive days? I did it, and I thought, why not 10 more days? At 100 days, I started to get nervous. Could I do 365 days? What if I got to something like 290 and missed a day? Well, I got to 300 days and persevered. It paid off. Yesterday, I reached my goal of reading every day! Now, I need to beat my yearly number of books read record!
