CAPSULE | READS: 26 Books. 26 Weeks.
A collection of key takeaways drawn from 26 books read in the first 26 weeks of 2023.
Introducing Reads as a capsule in the Learn Segment. Each week for the remainder of the year, we’ll be extracting notes from our Notion Book Database as a practice to nourish learning.
We’ll feature a different book — weekly — from the collection along with key takeaways and notes as a way to glean insights, grasp concepts & immerse yourself in learning.As we’re half way through the year, I thought it’d be a nice feature to add to the publication since many of the books reflect angles of being — living, thinking, feeling, practicing — that fuel Create Rutina.

This year I’ve taken up using Audible, which I’ve found incredibly useful to start up as I’m cooking, driving, doing laundry, or in the garden. I enjoy the ability to add books to my library that I can (among many other features):
- listen to and re-access books
- increase the reader’s speed
- pause/play/rewind/forward
- some of the audiobooks also include the book’s text-based PDF.
10/10 recommend.
Create Rutina is an intimate space to share fascinations we’ve discovered, methods we find valuable, practices we’ve solidified through routine and tools to fuel neuroplasticity through growing, learning, building and playing. Segments are our driving forces in how we engage with ourselves and the world around us. Join us in the (re)wiring!
