Last week I wrote about Writer's Block. A friend left me a comment in Buzz (newest addition to Google's family) and suggested that I write about what he called "Reader's Block". Well, my friend, here you go.
Reader's Block, as he defined for me, is when you have so much to read that you don't know where to start. With a plethora of emails in your personal and work inbox, articles you have bookmarked to read later, books in your to-read list that you are so guilty about, and not to mention friends' facebook updates, blogs (with an exception of this one ;) ... and the list goes on, you don't know what to read first, if at all.
For a Toastmaster, at least, I know how to break this block. Their top priority should the draft of the upcoming speech! After that, read material that pertains to the speech, like what would give stories about the speech subject.
For a non-toastie, I can suggest that you read what would help you in the forthcoming activity of work/life. For example, if you are going to meet a group friends, get a quick glimpse of their facebook (or Buzz) updates. If you have a business meeting coming up, read, by all means, your office emails, and then any other document necessary.
More tips on breaking the Reader's Block in later posts.
