After having successfully become an early riser, J Wynia has set a new challenge for the next 30 days: read 100 pages a day.

I don't have much of a print backlog because I read quickly and
regularly, so I'll set myself a different challenge: to touch three
people. I will initiate three messages a day.

It's too easy for me to fall into the habit of just reacting to
whatever mail I get, writing only when I receive a note (and sometimes
not even then). I want to change that. I want to proactively reach
out.

I'm learning that I don't have to rush through my schoolwork or my
research, and that the time I take to enjoy people's company will be
worth far more in the end.
