Quit early.
I'm sure you've been halfway through a book and asked yourself, "Why am I reading this?" Don't worry. It happens to the best of us. But instead of trying to power through a book that you're not enjoying or finding useful you should just put it down and start reading something else.
Gretchen Rubin, author of bestselling book The Happiness Project has found that the "winners don't quit" mentality isn't an effective mentality when it comes to reading. Rubin explains that quitting early gives you "More time for reading good books! Less time reading books out of a sense of obligation."
