Task isn't easy but target keeps questioning!!

It was not hard at all to read the latest Business World for more than an hour. It is infact surprising to me how I spent more than an hour on that. But, it was one of those times, I read the magazing in whole. I went on with my GMAT preparation after I closed the BW. I was just wondering yesterday, after reading through the 2nd chapter in GMAT-Barrons on the strategies to go about the reading comprehension. It takes more than an effort to sit and do the exercises in the book these days. I am sure it was a tough task three years back but not as hard as it is today.
It reminds me of my exam days during my graduation. My semester exams were hard in every sense for someone who bothered to know the syllabus a day before the exam. Exam schedule kept pushing me hard. The kind of focus, attention and ofcourse zeal to learn while reading a GMAT book is tremondous but it is absent or minimal when reading the BW or my graduation books. Only thing that can keep me go on is my passion to do an MBA from a top B-School.
