From Today - One Book A Day

From Today — 1 Book a Day
From today, I commit to reading one book per day — no matter how much I retain. I know I’m imperfect. I won’t remember everything. But that’s not the point.
Because I believe 300 unique ideas from 300 books is far more powerful than 300 ideas repeated from just one.
Each day, one new idea. One new lens. One new upgrade. I read to evolve — not to impress.
Let me not chase perfection, but choose progress, wisdom, and momentum. Daily. Relentlessly.
Some days, I might only get through half a book or skim heavily. That’s fine, I will keep the streak alive and move forward.
Here’s what I think about retention:- ideas have a way of surfacing when you need them. You might not remember the exact quote or which book it came from, but when you’re facing a problem months later, some framework or concept you skimmed will suddenly click into place.
And I’m sure of one thing — if today I retain just 10%, then by Day 100, my mind will retain far more, with deeper memory and sharper connections. That’s probably the most exciting part of this whole challenge - not just the books, but watching my own mind evolve in real time.
So here begins the journey: One book. Every day. For the rest of the year.
