92 pages left in this library book, and it’s due back Monday — already on my second renewal, so there isn’t a third (the library caps it at two, learned that the hard way).
Plan: finished by Sunday night, not Monday morning. That’s a 4-day window, and it’s simple — 20 pages before dinner, every night this week, instead of piling it all up on the last day like I did last time.
Tonight was round one. Read from 7:40 to 8:15, got through 24 pages, so already ahead by 4. The thing that keeps eating my evenings is my phone, specifically opening it ‘just to check something’ and then 35 minutes are gone, so the plan only works if the phone stays in the other room while I’m reading.
Writing this down mostly so I can’t pretend I didn’t say it.
