Some of my students pondered my article from yesterday and asked themselves: why am I not reading?
One found something that may be the reason billions of people don’t read: by the time they would get to reading, they are too tired. They are spent.
The priority they assign to reading is low.

Cut coupons. Check facebook, your email, chat, watch cat videos.
Cook every meal… instead of batches is one way many of my students spend their time, instead of reading. I, instead, buy enough to make 7 meals, I cook the food, and put it in sandwich or snack bags… more the snack bags, which are about one fist, so it’s the perfect size.
This means that I don’t cook every day. I always have 10 or so meals prepared in my freezer.

A person needs to see, needs to say that something is not enough. And then they act to fix it. Continue reading “The culture of scarcity chasing abundance…”
