Planning and reading

I finally committed to a new planner. It took me half the month but I'm ready to start transferring all of the important info from my old planner into my new planner. The funny thing is that before I got the planner I would think of all these things that I needed to add to my to do list, but I never got the opportunity to write it down. Of course, now that I have the planner I can't think of a single thing. I know there are things that I need to get done, but I can't think of most of them. Go figure.

One of the lists I have to copy is my reading list. I've always jotted down the names of books that people recommend or that I just happen to come across but I've never kept them in one place until last year. Now I'm wondering if there's a better way. I know some people use Good Reads. Others like to keep a list in a special notebook. I love lists, so right now I'm leaning towards keeping a list in my planner so that I have it with me at all times.

 One thing that I thought was interesting when I was looking online was that some people keep track of all the books they've read. I've never done this. But I like the idea of having a notebook filled with the books I've read. By the same token, I'm not sure I need one more thing to collect. What do you do?

  1. I'm a lurker, forgive me for jumping in but- I do keep a list of everything I've read. I keep it online, but I also write it in a paper journal. I just finished my 20th year. (I started it in high school.) I also keep a list of books I WANT to read on goodreads, but I can access it with my phone, so I always have it with me.

    1. I didn't realize that you could access Good Reads on your phone. Good to know. Maybe I'll try doing both and see which works best.
