svadhyaya v0.4: Bhagavad Gita and Commentaries

Now that I have settled on a relatively standardized daily routine with large chunks of focused task time it is now my turn to turn my attention to the next thing which is my reading. I have an immense problem with reading in that I like to start multiple books at the same time leading to not finishing any books and constantly context switching. This is proving to be problematic because at any given time if asked what book I am reading I don’t have a clear answer.

The irony is if I finished one book then I could turn to the next one and the one after that with relative ease. I just need to focus on a book at a time. So I am going to be instituting a new rule for myself to read one whole book before moving to the next. Some rules;

  1. One book to finish at a time. At any given time I should have a title for the book I am finishing.
  2. A book should be completed before moving to the next one. I should ever only have the one book I am reading with me and all other books should be put away until I am ready to read it.
  3. There should be a book queue that is organized for next book to read.

Right now the prime book I want to finish is Chanakya Neeti. The book after that are the gardening books.
