I've been in quite a "work-dinner-gym-chores-sleep and repeat" rut this year, and it struck me recently that there are one thousand, four hundred forty minutes in each day. That sounds like a lot of time! Where is it all going?! I have a feeling that a decent chunk of those minutes are going to reading... or thinking about what to read next, going to the bookstore, moving stacks of magazines around my house... you get the idea.
In fact, a quick count today revealed that I currently have 173 magazines in the rotation waiting to be read. Part of the problem is that I have a wide variety of interests that I would like to continue to develop. Travel, healthy cooking, home design, hiking, and the occasional fashion magazine all grab my attention. Each time I pick up a magazine, I think that this could be the day I learn a tip that changes my life. Who doesn't want to "find the perfect jeans," "lose ten pounds without getting off the couch," or "organize your closets for the last time"?
So, I continue to try to read everything from Allure and Accounting Today to Yoga Journal. And yet, I'm not sure what I'm really getting out of all these magazines. Am I really learning anything new? And, more importantly, will I ever put any of the knowledge gleaned from these articles to use? So, it seemed like it would be a good idea to try to use this space to track the best nuggets from my reading journeys. Worst case scenario, it should at least motivate me to pay more attention to what topics and interests are getting some of those precious daily 1,440 minutes!
