Reading books help me to gain knowledge, find inspiration and escape reality for a short while. I can say I never feel like i waste time reading.
As a friend, I wouldn’t advice to stop reading. Infact i could read 3-5 books in a week. I was that addicted too. But now 1-2 books per week and I wasn’t as consistent as i was. Just be conscious about how you spend your time reading consistently.
By the way, i enjoyed this particular piece. Writing always go with reading and i noticed the more you read, the more you have the urge to write and I’ll advise to always write.
Lastly, your writing speaks more about you as an individual and the story you wish to tell. I think thats why i like your newsletter. So be consciously consistent because I’ll be the same.
Thank you for your response Aijay! Yep, I have decided to shwo up every week for the joy of it. Happy new year to you Ore mi! This year's going to be great for us.
How have you been and how's your programming learning path going. It's been a while you wrote here. Abi you sef don japa comot for naija 😅.
About reading, I don't really read books that much except they are very relevant and I think it's because I have this belief that reading books especially non fiction are just a better way of wasting my time 😅 although I planned to read more this year.
Since you felt that you're wasting too much time on reading, I'd suggest you try to think about the books that are of your interests and that applies to your life currently.
Haha....Japa khe! On programming, I'm more on the writing side of things. I will be very certain with things at the end of the year. Thanks for your suggestions about reading. I'll definitely implement them. It's good to hear from you.
Could this just be like me. I lost my reading flair circa 2020 and I've not still been able to get it back till now. I try to read of course, but I have not been able to immerse myself in a book like I used to and I loose concentration easily. It now seems like too much work.
Perhaps that might be one of the reasons life has seemed incomplete, as reading was the biggest part of my formative years. I just hope one day I get it back.
Nice to hear from you again, its been long I got a notification of your posts
Happy new year Toluwani! I can relate to life seeming incomplete when one stops reading. I hope you get back to it soon. Maybe you could try experimenting on genres. You may no longer vibe with what you used to read. For example, I used to read a lot of psychology, philosophy, fiction, finance, etc. Now, I find joy reading just autobiographies. Same or something similar might spark your interest again. Yes, I was MIA for the second half of last year. Right now, I'm back. Thank you for reading.
Adulthood touch everybody 😆. I used that as a reason to stop reading but as you could see, it didn't turn out well for me. Anyways, I've been fine. Just low-key. I'll be writing more consistently from now on. How are you doing too?

Nice writeup as always.
