The amount of reading for pleasure I did would certainly have had an adverse impact had I wanted to study for the bar! (At one point, my main goal with a job was to earn enough money to buy food, clothes and all the books I wanted. Not neccesarily in that order, either...)
I think you just wrote the opening paragraph for a hell-of-a-lot of autobiographies of MR members. Well, mine anyway (except I had a knack for maths & the sciences...but I still didn't apply myself to them).

Cheers,
