Summer is here and what better way to keep yourself sharp and continue your personal development momentum than to create a summer reading plan for yourself! Be intentional about setting aside a specific block of time for reading on a consistent basis. Whether your goal is to read just one book or several, the key is to commit to your goal and hold yourself accountable!
That may mean scheduling time on your calendar or holding yourself accountable by joining a book club. Only you know what it will take for you to follow through, and only you have the power to make it happen! As others are focused solely on rest and relaxation this season, you will end your summer energized and ready to make the second half of your year even better than the first!
