I needed to come back, read again, post again, using the app again in general.. This time I will start over and complete my challenges
Infographics can be a great tool to improve reading skills.
In stark contrast to commonplace challenges,the endeavor at hand,encapsulated by the notion that 12 books possess the transformative power to rectify a dozen intricacies in my life,unfolds as an odyssey spanning beyond a mere annual cycle.This undertaking demands an investment of time that extends into the profound,necessitating a profound dedication to the intricacies of self-betterment.
I'll definitely read more than 36 books this year, but I'm ending this challenge. Actually, I'm done with all "number challenges". Maybe they work for some people, but to me they just make pressure, turn everything into the chore and take away all the joy and beauty of reading/watching/listening and really enjoying it.
And this goes for many things - everything became just a number and I realized people read a lot of crap just to fulfill the "task" and I don't even know why I am doing this in the first place. I'd rather enjoy one book per month and embrace slow and easy approach to reading/life. That's also a good way to be more mindful, attentive and to pick books/movies more carefully, not just to consume everything that's served for me.
There is hyperproduction everywhere and we are swamped with all kinds of books, movies, series, music and every other kind of content. The problem is - there is so little quality in all that, it's more about quantity. I choose to be more aware of my choices and to embrace JOMO.
So, no more "counting" for me. π Good luck with your challenges, guys. ππ§‘
Iβve been silent on here for a while. But hereβs an update for all things:
I moved house and got frustrated with this platform (Iβm not good with online media) so I kept up the meditation and also writing my book.
I also designed a second wave of items for my soon-to-launch clothing line and have the samples arriving this week SO EXCITING
and Iβve written a 7 year business plan
But Iβm trying to relax and be idle more because I over schedule my time and I donβt leave enough time to just relax. As a manifestors type (human design) I need a lot of unscheduled time for idling to allow for creativity.
Anyway hope youβre all being inspirational

Unstoppable: The Incredible Power of Faith in Action (Nick Vujicic)
Done! Last 3 books of the challenge. "Educated" supposed to be a memoir by a girl who grew up in the survivalist Mormon family, didn't go to school at all, then she homeschooled herself, went to the college and got a PhD. Well, I expected a true story, but the plot is full of gaps, illogicalities and inconsistencies. There are two possibilities : 1. she is a bad writer or 2. the story isn't so true. Either way, I couldn't believe it and I didn't like it.
The other two books are good. Especially "Guns, germs and steel" - huge recommendation!
Finish reading the 6th book of this month. I an really happy!
I have finished 48 books, the second year in a row. It's pretty clear how important it is. Of course, it matters what kind of books you read, so doing the research before reading is valuable. Also, it is useful to read books that you do not relate to, to open your mind even more. Here are a few honorable mentions from my list.
Un livre de la littΓ©rature de jeunesse divisΓ© en deux tomes
