I am going to be honest, I am not a reader. I have learned mostly by observation or listening but I want to implement the skill and habit of reading into my life. Th goal is to cultivate a habit of reading and committing time daily to this practice.

I am aware that any of you are already great readers but this habit is for those who do not do this. You can still join in though. Maybe it’s podcast or another version you want to add. As long as they are materials helping you grow and you are journalling what you are learning.

For the next year, we’re going to spend 20–25 minutes a day reading or listening to something that develops us:  mentally, emotionally, relationally, physically, spiritually, socially, or professionally.

After each session, journal what you learned. Write down the ideas that stood out, highlight something you want to remember, and ask yourself how you can actually apply it.

And don’t only read things you already agree with or understand. Go outside your wheelhouse. Read something that challenges your thinking, introduces you to a different perspective, or develops a skill you don’t currently have.
