Achieve your reading challenge goals with these quotes

We all have plans to achieve reading challenge goals. However, life is not perfect so we do not always get to tick off all goals from our to-do list. As they say, plans can be changed. After all, they are just plans. What is important is to keep marching forward relentlessly.

Some people participating in the Read Around The World Challenge managed to read one page, while others read one whole book or more. It’s not the amount of pages or books that matters. What matters is whether you are making progress or not. Are you reading more books, understanding more from what you read, finding more time to read, etc.

The fact is, reading one whole page is a huge achievement for someone who hasn’t read any book for years. So progress comes in all shapes and sizes. The question is, will February be better than January and March better than February, tomorrow better than yesterday, and so on.

Here are some productivity quotes to keep you motivated and make sure you do everything possible to keep marching towards your reading goals for this year.
