“Oh, I’ve been meaning to do (X). I’ll get right on that!”

I will not get right on that. No matter how sincere I am when I tell you that I will. Unless I am incredibly anxious about it, it’ll drop out of my head and poof into nonexistence the instant this conversation is over.

(Yes, I use a lot of to-do lists and reminders.)

That was my experience too. I often read 100+ books per year, and it’s just too much work to manually add every detail of half of those.

I read almost exclusively on Kindle, which integrates with Goodreads and updates when I’m done reading an ebook, so I still use Goodreads for that reason. I also manually track my reading in StoryGraph, though, which I like better with one exception: No ability to add quotes from books you’ve read. I really like sharing my favorite excerpts, so I miss that feature on StoryGraph.
