Reading as is, which always was the most enjoyable part of my existence, has got fairly tricky right now: it doesn’t matter what exactly I’m supposed to read (my “theoretical” books or “books for personal enjoyment”) since I am stuck in the middle of the page in order to be distracted and to read the current news. It is an unhealthy pattern, of course, and I try to deal with this by re-scheduling my working tasks, but, sadly, it has that unpleasant ability to come back.
