Well, I'm wondering what I'll be missing by not doing the "don't read" exercise!
I am a LIBRARIAN, for gods' sake!

(I wrote this on Zaadz, as well.)

I'll take this exercise in the spirit I believe it was intended. She says that without distractions like newspapers, a train becomes a viewing gallery. I get that. So for this week, I will put down the only work of fiction I have picked up in several months (starting it was something I was doing for my child-artist!), I won't read at lunch and I won't even read before bed this week. Instead I will listen to music (but not read the liner notes!) and meditate.

But at work I must help students with research projects, teach classes and read and respond to my boss' email and the reference chat I get from students, family and friends!

So what am I missing? Do I need to take a week off work to get the full benefit? This program has done SO MUCH in such as short period of time. I don't want to miss any of it!
