My 2021 Reading List in the first 6 Months
January 2021-June 2021
Have you ever thought why you are making a BETTER progress when you set your #goals by writing them on a paper or on a website, publishing and making them public?
According to Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion and Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products books, when we make a public commitment, when we set a goal and share it with someone, we tend more to be consistent between what we have said and what we are going to do.

I realized that I had been struggling to read books for almost 2 years, I wanted to build a daily reading habit because I believe that reading has a lot of benefits.
🩸 Reading help us to improve self-confidence
🩸Reading help us to build a better vocabulary
🩸 Reading lights up new ideas
🩸 Reading improves our memory
Therefore I wanted to apply 3 STEPS ( Encourage-Action-Improve) approach in order to improve my reading habits.(#3steps2reachyourpotential)
Encourage: I was not able to finish even one book for the almost last 2 years, of course I was willing to read but unfortunately somehow I could not take action.
Action: I bought some books but I could not even read one page so I decided to change my strategy in order to reach my goal.
I made a self-commitment and made it public via my social media on July 2020, besides via my instagram page I tried to reinforce my commitment.

Improve: I’ve made it! :) I have been able to read 12 books, I saw that making a reading list, publishing it via social media worked better so I’ve already prepared my 2021 reading list as well :)

Hopefully this time, I am planning to read 4 books more ( 16 books + 3 recently added ) in 6 months.
Besides, when someone asks me book recommendation, I am sharing the link easily by explaining which ones are my favorites :)
If you also have any recommendation, I would be glad to hear from you as well.
