This year, I wanted to start keeping a reading journal.
That’s certainly not a revolutionary idea, but I still managed to get stuck on a simple technical consideration: should I use a dedicated journal? Or write them in my existing journal, next to my usual entries? But then, how would I be able to easily spot my reading entries and distinguish them from the journal entries?
In the end, I decided I would do everything in my existing journal but that I would write reading entries in a different color from standard journal entries. It’s simple enough while still making it very easy to instantly tell them apart.
What would you do?
Flip it over. You’d write on the back of other used pages and upside down, so it’s clear which notes belong with which.
That’s clever! And since I will have no shame stealing your idea, this also means I could easily have at least three different kind of entries in a single journal :)
