I've been a hopeless collector for more than 2 years. Every book just had to be on my device and available immediately. I added books everyday. I scrolled through my book titles everyday. I opened and closed those same books everyday. I created collections and reorganized my books everyday. ****Wow, I should have typed this out sooner.. seeing what I just wrote, it really looks like an addiction.  **
I started by deleting every book off my device and trying to load only those that really interested me. Didn't work and found that I was just back where I started by including those "just in case I want to read it" books. Finally, I created just 3 collections: Now, High Interest, and Looks Good. **I tried other collection names and more than 3, but found that I kept adding to those collections. You know, just one more mystery to fill the page or just one more thriller.  **
Next, I limited myself to only keeping 50-75 on my reader. If, I really had to add more, I made sure to remove one from those already loaded on the reader.
Now, I'm working on being selective on which free books I download and the amount I purchase.
Is there hope for me? |
I never download free books. And I've not really bought any new books (2 since Christmas) since FW refused my money for the majority of books I wanted.
And I have 3 collections on my reader as well! Read, Reading and Unread
