So do you only read/post books for students for your reading goal? I read a lot of books for my students but realized I read very few books for pleasure that weren't related to school.

It shows up in the exhaustion I feel at the end of the day, in the way I can’t quite remember the details of my life like I used to. How my own kids will bring up events that they remember so c
