I have about 2 books I had planned to read somewhere in my log book, but Iām yet to plan out the books I would be reading in 2020, do you have any suggestions?
You can go to my profile and look for the tag #books. I post about books I read on a regular basis.
But this was not my point. Reading 10 books in a year is very difficult - especially if you are not fond of reading. It's a huge goal and many people fail at it, because by the time they take it seriously, by the time they realize it's become difficult to make that goal is too late.
Reading a book a month is better. You have better visibility on that timeframe, but it's still difficult.
So what could be a realistic and helpful goal?
Or let me ask a different question. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!
If we apply this answer to reading it would mean to commit something small, something easy. Like to read one page, 5 pages or 30 minutes a day. That's something realistic and even if you miss a couple of days, it doesn't jeopardize your end goal. And by the end of the year, you will have an awesome new habit!

What do you think?
I tend to get bored when I read for a long time, so I would say dedicating 30 minutes daily would be a realistic goal.
I also would set a consistent time on my calendar so it becomes a routine.
I realize reading 10 books would be tough, but I'm ready to take on the challenge šŖš¾.
Good luck and tell us how it went. Writing a short summary is helpful for us to read about new books and helpful to you to think about what you read!
Yes, I'd try to do that for each book I read, Thanks.
