I like to read and learn, but it's getting harder these days as I focus all of my free time on my side project. It's hard for me to 'justify' reading when I can actually get something done.
I have the same problem. The only thing that works for me is working in a set number of pages per day as a goal, say 10. That way, even a medium to large sized book can be covered in 1-2 months.
