reading and the minimum wage

apologies for today’s late-afternoon post. while brainstorming topics for this post earlier, i kept getting side-tracked.

with a lack of anything better, i thought i’d share what i’ve been doing today: collecting and reading various news articles and reports on the benefits of increasing the minimum wage. so far, i’ve identified and begun to read through about 200 pages of studies and policy briefs.

by the time i decide to draw the line on resource collection, there’s no telling how many hundreds, or even thousands, of pages i will have identified as necessary reading.

more details on this effort as we get closer to opening day….

my problem with all this reading, though i find it interesting and useful, is that my brain has an annoying habit of getting drowsy whenever i try to sit and read. anything.

i’ve poked around online looking for solutions, but the only useful information, advice, i’ve found is not to read in bed. the idea being to disassociate reading from bedtime. it makes sense and has helped a bit, i still find i can’t sit and for any stretch without dozing off.

with so many pages to read on the minimum wage, not to mention a potential graduate school course load not too far off, i’m wondering if anyone else has this experience. if so, what if any steps have you taken to address this annoying, seemingly uncontrollable habit?
