Reading Plan

2014-04-08

I made a mistake last time and believed that I had mastered speed reading.

After the correction, I realized the truth.

After buying the Air, I foolishly spent a few months reading books.

I only discovered Game Center a few days ago. No wonder people say iPad is for playing games.

I couldn’t stop myself from playing games for two days straight.

Then I thought about game reward mechanisms, and how reading books can be particularly frustrating.

I remember someone saying that reading is a long-term rewarding process, so it’s impossible to feel rewarded in hours.

Just relying on intrinsic motivation is considered an abuse of willpower.

The subconscious mind doesn’t understand these things, so it feels bored and urges you to do something else.

I feel that once I break through the 1,000 mark, it will become a part of my habit, and I won’t care about this anymore. But it’s especially difficult and uncomfortable in the hundreds stage (╯﹏╰）

So I wonder if there is a way to visualize it,

something like KPI, pure motivation,

and book pages are relatively easy to quantify.

I tried using omniplan and Gantt charts for a while, but couldn’t make it look the way I wanted.

In a fit of anger, I thought about doing it myself, making a website or an iOS app, but later realized that Excel can actually fulfill my needs…

Do programmers always try to reinvent the wheel?…

Thinking outside the box.
