Late last year, I got a fire lit under me and started reading all the books I could get my hands on. It was one of those cycles of reading we get into and then drop out of if we aren’t intentional with our habits. It was a great run and I am still on it. But, I have had some realizations lately. I have been reading so much but have not really soaked in what I was reading. And, I was wondering if reading so much without action is really the best plan. Podcasts fall into this same question.

How much information is too much without application or action?

I’m going to keep reading, but I’m going to try something new: taking notes on what I’ve read with the purpose of synthesizing it into summaries for others.
