I just finished my first reading buddy bookmark, and it worked incredibly well to encourage me to keep working through a textbook. I have one tweak I'll be using in the future: only one goal type, but every few progress boxes is a souvenir instead of an adventure doodle. This simplifies figuring out goals for me.
This was very pleasant. Thank you for this!
Thank you for giving Reading Buddy a shot and for sharing your experience! I'm so glad it helped with your textbook reading and that you enjoyed it! 😊
I love your idea for a one goal tweak-I think I'll try it that way next time I do a bookmark. When I wrote Reading Buddy I was thinking about juggling my bigger goals like reading x books and y nonfiction books. But now I think those are mostly too big to work best with Reading Buddy. In my day to day if I need extra motivation to read it is usually for one more specific reason-like finishing a particular book. So I think one goal with every few boxes as a souvenir sounds like a very good fit!
