I am currently very slowly reading a book called "The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had" By: Susan Wise Bauer. And it said something that really struck me. So I wanted to share.
"The first task of self-education is not the reading of Plato, but the finding of thirty minutes in which you can devote yourself to thought, rather than to activity."
The author even recommends scheduling a set time for it 4 days a week. Maybe doing exactly that will help me make progress with the stack of books that I have on my nightstand. What book are you reading right now to keep yourself learning and growing?
