Getting Out Of A Reading Slump

Sometimes reading can look like clearly a thick forest with a handyman's cutlass.

I mean... that's torture in disguise.

The eminence of the green trees will automatically caution you to a deep slump except you're reading for the right reasons.

Right reasons?

Well, yeah. Some folks read books because of FOMO (fear of missing out).

Doesn't that sound rad?

Probably not.

The fear of missing out is the feeling of anxiety and uneasiness around missing out on information, events, or experiences.

It has become increasingly common and can cause serious stress.

If it can affect just about anyone, it can affect readers too.

Readers that experience FOMO read books under stress and anxiety, this is anti-health and not learning-friendly because it affects overall wellness which eventually leads to a lack of motivation, fatigue, burnout, and performance issues.

The books begin to look like thick forests, your energy becomes quantum and then you slump but when FOMO and its look-alikes are absent, you take the forest one step at a time.

We've been there at a point in our lives, in a slump just fantasizing about reading and not reading at all.

But hey,

An Asset?

Long ago, in a faraway land called Sumer near the Persian Gulf, the city was known as the cradle of civilization. When their businesses began to bloom such that the administration and calculations of trade numbers or purchases could no longer be done by memory, causing a drag in their mode of operations. This disruption motivated a creative Sumerian to create a solution to the problem which brought about the art of writing. Writing was introduced to the system primarily for record-keeping.
