{Reading Notebook} January books
I didn’t get much reading done in January, and one of these books I actually started in December, but since I finished it in January, I’m counting it toward my goal of reading 24 books this year!
I enjoyed Ploductivity, a Practical Theology of Work and Wealth. But it was spendy. I think a used copy would be the way to go.
Do More Better is a book I’ve had for a while and it is extremely hands on and practical walking you through how to set up systems to keep you productive and disciplined. But if you don’t use digital apps to keep you organized it’s probably not worth buying. However, if you love digital apps like Todoist and Evernote, this would be worth looking into!
And New York was a fun read when I needed a break from weightier things (I especially like fiction before bed, because I don’t have to have a pencil to underline great thoughts or sentences).
And here’s the ratings key at the front of the notebook so you can see what the rating for these books mean.
Goal Update:
I’ve read 3 of 24 books for the year.
21 more to go!
As always, let me know if you have any reading goals and how you’re doing on them in the comments below.
Kari! How do you get all that reading done. I’m 1/3 the way through my January read
Well, the two productivity books were short, and the other I started in December! LOL
This is such an awesome idea! Thanks for caring to share.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I love your reading notebook format! I set a goal of 60 books for the year, but in the last couple of week I have decided I would like to be more intentional with notetaking and reviewing of said notes, so not sure that goal is realistic.
I loved this and look forward to reading the monthly updates. I am paring down my computer reading as I spend too much time here and feel I could be using my time with God and then hobbies I love. Your posts are staying. They feed my soul, thank you. Do you have a post that combines all your 2021 reads into one post and if so where would I find it? I am a 70 year old lady who knows nothing about computers, loves bullet journals and wants to learn and enjoy every day I have left to live and thrive.
Thanks for your encouragement Jackie! I don’t have a 2021 reading list, it was a year that I didn’t keep very good track of, so that’s why I hope to keep up with monthly updates on reading this year! I love your enthusiasm for life and learning! May God bless you richly!
Oh, I love that idea! It was so fun to go back and add notes to my reading notebook and revisit what I had forgotten that I underlined in my books!
