What did I consume in 2018?

At the beginning of 2018, I wrote the following post [https://www.thomashuysmans.be/consuming-in-2018/] where I said that I would track the books I read, the podcasts I listened to, the movies I saw, etc.... At last the results are there, and I must say: it was an interesting experiment. The biggest problem I encountered was keeping track of everything.

Consuming in 2018

A new year has started and I decided that for 2018 I would start tracking the media I consume. What does this mean? Well I want to know how many books, papers, podcasts and films I consume during the year. The idea of tracking things is not really new. I got the idea from Jef Claes in 2014 when he talked about it. You can read Jef's original blog post [http://www.jefclaes.be/2015/01/consumed-in-2014.html] about it. He has been doing it for the last three years. How will I track everything I ha…
