ANECDOTE

Adult Reading Habit Lost To Other Priorities

  • As an adult Connor still enjoys reading but reads far less than he wants because of other priorities and limited time.
  • He sometimes re-starts the habit, reads every evening while finishing a book, then often stops again until he consciously makes time.
INSIGHT
