Early this year, I read Prosper's 2018 year review and it inspired me to do and accomplish a lot and is also the reason I've decided to also start ...

Happy new year! What's your plan to get to 10 books?
Happy new year Sandor, the plan is to read at least one book in a month. I should read more than 10 that way 😀
Thanks, Ezekiel! And how do you plan to read a book a month?
I have about 2 books I had planned to read somewhere in my log book, but I’m 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 💪🏾.
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.
Fantastic article! Beautiful pictures.
That bit about 0% on Codility gave me a good laugh, haha. By this time next year, I will contact you to find out if you actually read the 10 books you talked about 😜
Cheers!
Thanks, Melvine 😁I really hope to read more than 10 books next year.
You had a nice year. keep the momentum.
And I also need some guidance from you. I really wanted to start contribution to OS . I tried Github search with advanced filters to find a suitable project for me. But i couldn't match any. Could you please help me guiding on that ? How was your approach to find a project to contribute ?
Thanks Razib. I used the same method of searching through the list of Github issues, till I was able to find the one I could work on, I started with updating npm packages for a project.
Thanks a lot Ekunola. Hopefully i will be able to find a suitable project for me ASAP.
