Another hot 5km 🥵.

Fika with Leo

I rarely finish books that I start reading. Usually I'll get what I need out of it, plan to finish it, and start a new book in the mean time. Some may shake their heads in disbelief, but I don't think this is a problem.

While I feel like retain "a lot" of what I read, a few months down the like and I usually only remember the gist. I'm wondering if I couldn't retain more details if I were to take notes when I read. Writing down notes physically on paper is an option, but transcribing them so I can easily reference them becomes a burden. My handwriting is also horrible as I write with paper so rarely.

One thought that comes to mind is to setup a personal wiki where I can just store anything and everything, including notes on book and articles that I read. I could easily link/categorize content. I don't necessarily want to make everything I read and write fully public and managing which page are private, which are public could become a chore.

The other thought is, I have this blog why don't I just write what I learn here. Start interspersing notes about books / magazines that I read here on this blog. It should help me retain more of what I read as well as help people discover new and interesting topics.

Used the Suica on my Apple Watch to pay for parking the other day. Felt like pure magic and reduced the stress of finding change/putting change in my wallet. Can focus on driving. ❤️
