Welcome to the maximalist reading tracking setup of your dreams (or nightmares). In this video, I'm breaking down exactly how, and WHY, I use 8 different systems to track my reading in 2026.From my detailed Notion database to the only app I actually pay for and my physical journal, every single one of these has a specific job. If youβve ever felt like one app just isn't enough, you have found your people.Let's embrace the chaos.Watch the video: https://youtu.be/Fnukl62uK6Mβ³ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 The Confession: Why I need 8 systems00:55 The "New Toy": Margins App01:44 The "Big Three": Storygraph, Pagebound, Fable03:28 The "Timekeeper": Bookly (My only paid sub!)04:42 The "Legacy Archive": Notion Setup06:18 The "Boss": Shelf Control & ARCs07:21 The "Artist": Physical Reading Journal08:47 Outro: Embracing the maximalist life
