How to Stay Motivated with a Reading Challenge

Reading Challenges... we all know them, we see them everywhere. But just like reading for unwinding, how does one stay motivated. Well, let's give you some ideas to help... along with an article to take it home. Check that out here!

First up, make sure you're doing these challenges because you want to, not to prove something to someone else. Yes, it's a challenge and yes it means you need to push yourself, but you can't go into because someone dared you to do it, so to speak.

Second, pace yourself and make realistic goals. If the challenge says "read 10 books in one year", then spread them out. Don't try to do all 10 in one week. If you end up beating your number and still have time, then go for a bonus book or two. But don't rush or make this more work, just because you want to win a game.

Lastly, enjoy the reading.. don't make this a chore. The phrase "reading challenge" kind of gives the idea to some, where it seems they need to get something done fast or first. This is still reading at the end of the day.

So, are you going to try a reading challenge? Which ones have you done before if you've already done them? Enjoy the article for more info, and until next time... READ A BOOK!
