5 actual reasons I don't read when I should

1.  When I'm on my phone, it's to distract me from stress or hunger, and those two emotions/moods are not conducive to reading.
   
   
2. Phone-browsing can be done in small, unrelated chunks, as a slight distraction, but book-reading needs at least some focus, and an ability to recall the content that was last read.
   
   
3. I'm reading so many different things I'm reading at a time, sometimes it's a hassle to decide what I want to read.
   
   
4. I often get too caught-up in the reading, and spend hours and hours, of otherwise-planned time, to read, so writing is too-engaging to do casually.
   
   
5. I'm lazy and books seem like a lot of work.
