My challenge with books

[harumi]

When I pick up a book, there's usually a reason—I'm lacking in the field, and the book not only provides valuable knowledge but also actionable motivation. With that burst of motivation and knowing what to do, I stop reading and start taking action. This cycle repeats; however, it causes me to pick up multiple books and read - 20%, 50%, 80% of the book and never really 'finish' it.

My goal is not to 'finish' the book but to learn, however, the fact that I don't go all the way through and 'finish' also annoys me greatly.

When I read, the new knowledge I learn feels like a waste if I were to carry on reading, and there's only so much I can comprehend, as that depends on my mental state and exhaustion.

My question: Is anyone experiencing a similar phenomenon, and what's your philosophy on this?
