Today I had one day off from my reading. Usually I do reading for 2-3 hours everyday but today I felt lethargic and unmotivated. So I just was lazy today. Not even do aerobics.

I fill lazy and unmotivated today also. It’s cloudy and rainy here. I also do 1 to 3 hours of reading but I also do 3 hours of artwork at least 3 days a week. So enjoy your lazy day I’m going to try and enjoy mine.

Two to three hours is a great amount of time to spend reading!
So taking a little break from it won’t hurt anything. 
What are you reading nowadays @green5?

Thanks for asking. I’m currently reading <Thinking: Fast and Slow> . This is a really, really good book. The author won a Nobel Prize in 2002. I can’t make a summary of the book in one word, but I’d say this book is so interesting and reading this book makes me modest.

@insidemind @Montezuma As a sample of this book, I put a part of Chapter 3 here for your enjoyment.
Chapter 3 The lazy controller of System 2
When system 2 is busy and depleted, System 1 has more influence on behavior , and it has a sweet tooth.
While your attention is focused on the digits, you are offered a choice between two desserts: a sinful chocolate cake and a virtuous fruit salad. The evidence suggests that you would be more likely to select the tempting chocolate cake when your mind is loaded with digits. People who are cognitively busy are also more likely to make selfish choices, use sexist language, and make superficial judgments in social situations.

I set aside two hours at night to read, from 10:00 when i take my meds until midnight when i usually fall asleep. I can’t always concentrate on reading the whole time but i find that it helps me wind down and go to sleep.
