- As of February 2022,
- I am managing two pages: My Bookshelf and My Video Work Shelf.
- I’m not entirely satisfied with them.
- My reading backlog has become too long.
- Well, I guess that’s okay.
- It’s tedious to record every book I’ve read.
- Is it annoying to have a binary status of “read” or “unread” for each book?
- I feel uncomfortable not knowing what to do with books I’ve only partially read.
- It’s easy to tell if a book has been read or not, so maybe I should just manage them based on whether I’ve bought them or not.
- Oh, but Netflix-related content is more complicated.
- Maybe it’s enough to track if I’ve started reading or watching something.
- Actually, if a page turns blue after I’ve read it, there’s no need to manage “read” or “unread” status.
- Why do I even want to list the books I’ve read in one place?
- I used to do it because I thought I might need to check the books I’ve read before, but now I don’t think I need it anymore.
- Maybe it’s useful when recommending books to others.
- Yeah, that’s still useful.
- Also, there might be a desire to keep records.
- In short, I just want to see a list of pages related to “books” without doing anything.
- It’s tedious to add the hashtag#books to every book page.
- Well, in that case, it’s probably best to write everything on the shelf page.
- The problem is that I have to decide where to write when I come up with something.
- It’s important to have a simple way to divide books into “bought” or “not bought”.
- But I do want to separate books I’ve finished reading.
- However, it feels weird to have books I’ve lost interest in mixed with books I haven’t finished reading.
- Maybe it’s best to divide them into “in queue” (books I want to read now) or “not in queue”.
- Also, separating them based on media type doesn’t seem as useful as separating them by genre.
- It would be easier to understand if I divide them into academic and entertainment categories.
