I need to stop worrying about the bookmark

 Recently I was traveling by train and saw an elderly gentleman reading a book on the seat diagonal to me, as I was seeing him flip through the pages and read with all the attention a sense of guilt started to creep inside me. I was not reading as much as I used to or as fast as I used to. I'm getting distracted a lot these days, What happened? what changed? Why am I not able to read as much? And then it hit me "IT'S BECAUSE I LOST MY BOOKMARK!!!" and suddenly I knew how stupid that excuse was and the real reason now as I;m writing this I can clearly see are, I don't have proper systems set up and all these days as I was reading fiction books the story used to keep me invested and made sure that I completed the book. I was in the last part of my college and had a lot of free time in my hand. Now things have changed, I'm working now, I have started reading non-fiction(thanks to 75 hard) and also I'm getting distracted by other things like, the peer pressure...
