Target
You have paused or finished reading but haven't identified or recorded any unfamiliar words from the passage.
Obstacle
You often skip recording words because you don't have a quick, repeatable process to choose which words count as 'new', verify their meanings, and write example sentences in one sitting.
Expectation
You will have three new words logged with a brief definition and one original example sentence for each.
