Reading after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. -- Albert Einstein
Anyone who knows me knows I love to read. At an early age, I was encouraged to take a book where ever I went. This has followed with me into adult life. While there are much worse habits to have, as an entrepreneur, too much reflection can slow you down. As a friend has said to me, it can lead to the Paralysis of Analysis. I am challenging myself to PUT THE BOOK DOWN, and be even more action oriented. I am not cutting out reading altogether, but am going to do a better job of keeping it in perspective with all of the other things that need to be accomplished to meet my goals .
Do you have this challenge? If so, how have you attempted to address it? If this is not your entrepreneurial challenge, share an insight into a challenge you are working to improve upon..

I read less finished products (books, mags, etc...) than I did a decade or so ago, but I do read just as much, if not more, via the internet. With the web, the ideas seem a bit fresher, albeit not as well-formed.
