It's an absolutely massive commitment to start Wheel of Time. There are times when you might feel it too long and take a break, that's fine. Some people take years to complete and that's totally fine. If you like Sanderson's work, the story is more Tolkien but it's a great achievement to say you've done it. On the other hand, if you do not like it, don't feel you need to complete it. There are tons of books out there that you'll enjoy that others don't and vice versa, at least you'll have tried.
Good luck!
