It’s different when you think someone is watching.
You pay more attention. You try a little harder. You clean things up.
That’s fine in most situations. It’s how people behave.
But it changes the nature of what you’re doing.
Something private turns into something you’re performing, even if it’s just a little.
That doesn’t help much here.
Reading isn’t something you can really perform. There’s no one to impress, and there’s not much point in trying to look consistent. It either happens or it doesn’t.
Most of this is supposed to be quiet. No updates, no visible progress, nothing for anyone else to react to.
That can make it feel like not much is happening.
But that’s usually where it holds up.
Things that depend on being seen tend to drop off as soon as they aren’t. Things that don’t tend to stick.
If you’ve been doing this without talking about it or showing it, that’s probably the part that matters.
One benefit of nobody watching is nobody knows if you got behind. If you fell out of the habit for a few weeks, there isn’t anything to fix publicly.
There’s no need to try to catch up. This isn’t a one-time pass through the material. Just start where we are and keep going. You’ll pick up what you missed the next time through.
