Hi everyone, I'm Higashi from the techo team.

When I look back on my techo that I use to manage my schedule and as a diary, I realize how there are days that are filled with events, and days that are completely blank.

There is one thing that I have continued to write in my techo this year, though. That is, write down the title of the book I read that day in the To-do list section of each daily page.


I often jot down phrases that stuck with me.

Even if I had only read one or two pages, I'd still write it down as a record that I did read a book that day. Which means, I'd write down the same title for several days straight. But doing so makes me feel like I've read a lot, so I recommend this method.


You can see how proud I was reading two books in a single day

At one point, I wondered how many books I had read in total, so I listed them in the My 100 page.


I used No. 1-50 to write down my bucket list, and 51-100 to write down the books I read

I actually read a lot this year!


If I read a book two times, I listed it twice.

It made me think that I can manage to read 50 books this year!

These books are those that I bought, borrowed from a friend, or borrowed from the library, but by listing them down like this, it feels like I've made my very own bookshelf in my techo. It's fascinating how a simple list reminds me of the book design and how I felt when I read that book. Reading back on my techo, I was glad I wrote it down.
