Happy Sunday

[@sunsetlover.6196]

I see the consistency 👀👀👏👏👏

[@oioio-yb9dw]

This is so well timed, I was thinking about trying to do the very same challenge for myself. Great motivation and success to your reading, I will try to persist in that goal. I will try to keep up with a book per month.

[@__-eo9nu]

A book a month?! It might sound like a lot but you should be looking at 2-3 books a week. My best advice is do one book a month, then do two then three and so on so forth.

[@oioio-yb9dw]

@@__-eo9nu I understans your point, but I am also working, studying and handling some other activities on a daily basis, so for now I will keep an one per month. I appreciate your advice a lot, so I will still try to.pick up the pace until I get to 2-3 per week.

[@__-eo9nu]

@@oioio-yb9dw Obviously its whatever fits into your life the best, there are a lot more important things than story books but you start to read much faster compared to when you started reading regularly meaning you can eventually read about 1/5th of the book in a single sitting.

[@AbbeyRobinss]

Yes give it a go, it is a really fun and helpful goal

[@chonchobar378]

Ima have to get some of these books. I feel like reading them would be like taking in a breath of fresh airlol

[@AbbeyRobinss]

They are so good!

What happens is that I read books but then I totally forget what I read in them. If I can't remember what I learned then what's the point of reading loads of books? Do you have any tips on this issue?

[@kreesajones1680]

Make summary of what u read in notion and visit it often to refresh ur memory.. U can also imbibe it in ur daily habits

[@AbbeyRobinss]

Yeah I agree with the above, or I turn the corner of pages I find interesting in my books so I can easily go back and put points into action

[@Bt-ts6hq]
