Comments on: How One Small Habit Adds Up…And Reducing My Kindle Samples

What kind of Kindle do you have? I don’t know that I have a lot of samples on my Kindle but I have over 1200…some that are mine, my kids, my husbands…but I don’t even know what all is there. I started a few months ago trying to organize them on Goodreads and spent a few days in a row for about an hour cataloging them…but then stopped and I still don’t know what all is there. I need to employ this habit to get it done! Maybe just 5-10 (or Flylady’s method 15) minutes a day until it is finished. I would delete the books I knew we were done with or never going to read…

Love the Flylady! I used to follow her and since I have moved into my house (5 years ago!) haven’t set new zones…so haven’t kept up as I should. I say should because her ways work 🙂

In reply to Joanne. Thanks, Joanne. Those small habits are usually the ones that help me with long-term projects that seem too overwhelming otherwise. Small bites are usually just right for me. :)

What a wonderful solution! I do think small daily habits are sometimes hard to develop but once I do they make my life so much easier or better. Thanks for sharing with us at Encouraging Hearts and Home. Pinned.

In reply to Lisa Jordan. That's a great example, Lisa. I try to work out 3 days a week, so I admire you for doing it daily. I always feel better after a workout (you'd think I'd learn to do it more often then! lol).

Often we think small won’t add up to much, but when you stay with it, you will see wonderful results. My small thing is getting in a daily 30-minute workout. My joints feel better. My brain feels better. And it’s great for my heart. There are days, though, when I dread that workout. However, when I stay with it, I still feel better when it’s over.

In reply to Lesley. Funny thing about my Samples...today I noticed the count is back up to 92 because I've been adding more than 2 a day lately. lol. But that's not usual, so hopefully I'll see the number continue to decrease again as the year goes on.

In reply to Jerralea Winn Miller. Samples are the best, Jerralea! :) Sometimes you can get the gist of the book just from the sample too, which is really nice. lol. I haven't heard of Minimal Mom but she sounds right up my alley. I have to tackle so many projects just a few minutes at a time or I feel overwhelmed.

In reply to Maryleigh.

That’s exactly how I made it through Les Miserable too, Maryleigh! It took me a LOT of months to finish it at my slow rate, but the steady turtle wins the race. And it was SO worth it when I finally finished. You’re so right…sometimes this is also how we can get through a day. 🙂

In reply to Jean Wise. Yes, were it not for the library, I'm certain I would not be the reader I am. From my earlier memories, I've been a heavy library user. I'd love to see the number of books I have checked out through the years, and now the ebooks too! :) Glad the Zechariah verse is meaningful to you too. I've held it close for quite awhile.
