Do you have a book that went from To Be Read to Currently Reading, but you haven’t picked it up lately? Is it a regimented self-help book? There’s several possible reasons why this book came off the TBR list. Like, having a goal that you want to achieve. Maybe a family/friend recommended the book and gave it a good review.
There’s the possibility that you want to strengthen a particular part of your life. Regardless of the reason, the 365 Day Book has a bookmark that hasn’t moved in weeks. It’s a glaring reminder of procrastination. Especially if this isn’t your first time leaving a regimented self-help on your Currently Reading List indefinitely.
If we bought, received, or borrowed these books with bite-sized advice for self improvement. It’s the daily restriction that posses a challenge. After all, It can take 21 days to make something a habit. Binging a book from cover to cover is not the same as reading a page or two a day. In fact, it can feel restricting for those that prefer to dive into their books. Especially 365 Day books that follow a calander year model.
This leaves you with a few options, skip those days or start where you left off. Either way, failing to read on the assigned day can lead to several pages of advice left flapping in the wind. That’s why I prefer books that aren’t restricted by a calendar year format. I don’t want to treat the book like a homework assignment. Rather, I treat it like a form of self-care. Aside from reflection, books like this can take 2 to 5 minutes to read. When I think about it like that, I’m more likely to stick with it.
Whether it takes me a year or two to finish the book, I’m actively reading. So, it’s a win-win to me. I hope this has encouraged you to resume your 365 Day journey. Yes, consecutive days would be the most effective, but don’t let that mindset deter you from finishing the book.
