I learned something else from my Thanksgiving Day challenge. From synthesizing and writing posts about books I read months or years ago, I realized how much I’d forgotten. I now see that it’s valuable to refresh knowledge. Secondarily, synthesizing and sharing is the ultimate way to do a refresh, because I can’t write good posts explaining something if I don’t understand it myself.

So, what does this mean? My weekly reading habit has mostly been about reading a new book every week. I want to change this a bit so I’m rereading books at some regular (to be determined) interval  and sharing what I learned from them. I’ll get a lot out of this, especially since I’ve marked a few books as worth reading annually but don’t have a process to make sure it happens.

It's my first new habit for 2026! I’ll think it over more and share what I settle on.
