Day 53,
I took out a 500 page book about Leonardo Da Vinci from the library and made it in about 40 pages; will I practically have time to read it all? Not unless I drop other things which are important to me.
What tangible benefit will I gain by setting aside time to read it, contrasted with the losses I have to take to achieve it? A couple of years ago, I would have made that time trade off.
On the other hand, I've got my eye on Warren Buffett's book about reading Financial Statements; the time invested will be worth it, as it will supplement my upcoming goals and weave into my purpose. Sure, learning about Da Vinci's work ethic might be nice, but I've already listened to a few hours about his life. Only so much you can hear about someone working hard at different areas in life before it steals time away from your doing the same.
I think I'm starting to "get it".
