There are so many things I want to read. They're things I'm interested in. Yet I find it so difficult to just sit down and read.

I'm a slow reader. I have to read every word in the sentence, and then maybe reread the sentence a few times because I'm not sure what I just read.

I have so many things I want to read that I don't know where to start. Actually, that applies to things other than reading. I just don't know where to start.

If I have something big, a book let's say, I know I should take it step by step. But what's the first step? And the second?

I also feel like I don't have enough time to read everything I want to read.

I guess you could throw a little anxiety into the mix.

Sorry if I'm being a bit incoherent. My goals are to learn how to tackle big things, like books, projects, moving, etc. step-by-step, and not to get overwhelmed. And once I start, to stay motivated and not give up. Where do I start?

Oh, and if you ask me to read something over a few pages, I get into the same rut. I'm sure the self-help e-book would be helpful. Then again, I get overwhelmed by the sheer size of the thing, don't know how to start, read a page every 15 minutes or more if I do start, lose motivation.... Argh!

Sorry that my thoughts are jumping all over the place. Any tips about where to start or how to start?
