Even when I go to the study room, I can't open my book.
I’d planned to go to the study room after the work dinner, but some days I get there and leave without reading a single page.

- I’ll count the walk, too — Even on days you couldn’t open a book, the walk to the study room still counts. Next time, what might come to mind once you arrive?
