Literature Challenge

There is nothing like a challenge to get people motivated. I find myself always coming up with challenges. They can be simple stuff like read more, work out more often or be nicer to people! The first one is the one I want to focus on today. This is what they like to call “a win win.” If you accomplish your goal of reading more you win the challenge. If you do not finish the goal you still read more than you did before and can consider that a win. Maybe you finished a book or maybe you finished a series, either way you motivated yourself and did something great! Here is the challenge.

Read something new for 7 days. That’s it, just read something for a week!

Read a book you been meaning to start. Read the paper that’s been stacking up. You don’t have to read for hours a day or try to finish the book in a week, just read. Read whatever you can, whenever you can. Read a chapter a day, 10 pages a day or even a page a day. Read for an hour a day or 10 minutes a day. Keep it on your night stand or walk around with it to seem really literate! Download a free book to your kindle. Download a book you heard about today! Anything that you want to read at whatever pace you can. Tailor this challenge to fit your lifestyle and reading preference.

Try to fit it into your daily routine so that you don’t forget about it. Read first thing in the morning, read while you’re having your coffee, read during your lunch break. You can add it into your work out; by reading, or having your kindle read to you, during your cardio. You will be surprised how many books a year you can read during 30 minutes of cardio on a bike or treadmill! Read the old fashion way, at bedtime until you fall asleep.

I will start this challenge today. Don’t worry if you don’t finish or you forget. Start the challenge again if you have to and preferably start the challenge every week. Set a goal and challenge yourself to finish. Challenge your friend, your significant other or your parents. Read a book with someone or just make a recommendation to someone.

Leave comments below letting us know how you did. What book did you start? How far did you get? Did you challenge someone else?
