Read More and Give Back with BooKey

Due to the nature of my current job in education and the fact that I live on my own, it has become increasingly difficult to find time to read books. I used to read a lot when I was living with my parents and working in the BPO industry, but now even when I try, it takes me a month just to finish one book. I've tried listening to podcasts while doing chores, but I feel excluded from the conversation. I've also tried audiobooks, but they tend to be slow and they lack emotion. Then, I discovered a mobile application called BooKey.

BooKey is designed to help people read more by offering book summaries, similar to Blinkist. The summaries are concise, capturing the key takeaways from each book and allowing users to quickly and easily digest the information without having to read the entire book. Users can choose to read the summary, browse the mind map, or listen to the summaries. The audio format typically takes only 23-30 minutes. This allows me to listen to multiple BooKeys during commute and while I do household chores.

Bookey's product design and commitment to promoting reading have earned them several recognitions, including "Most Promising Education Innovation" at the Bett Asia Awards, the "Outstanding Mobile Reading App" award at the China Digital Reading Innovation Forum, and a place on HolonIQ's list of "Top 50 EdTech Companies in the World." But what really caught my attention was their 21-Day challenge. Once a user finishes 21 days of reading any book for at least 5 minutes, the user gets to donate a book to children in Africa. This is a great way to motivate myself to read more while also giving back.

Most of BooKey's featured books are on self-improvement which was nice because I am obsessed with Atomic Habits. Through this app, I found a way to unlock related books and understand the key concepts behind them. These self-help books are often written by experts in their respective fields who have conducted extensive research and/or have personal experience with the topic they are discussing. They provide readers with practical advice, tools, and strategies that can be implemented in their daily lives to improve their personal and professional growth. Some of the ones I've read so far are as follows:

I am no stranger to digital tools that offer rewards for continued use. GCash, for example, has their GForest initiative, which has led me to plant four trees virtually (as of checking, they've already been physically planted). This approach has been effective in helping me establish habits, whether it's making paperless transactions or reading more books. Digital tools like BooKey also make it easy to track my progress and stay accountable, which is key to building habits (pun intended).

These models not only work but also inspire. With each tree planted, I know I am helping to promote sustainability. With each book donated, I know I am helping to promote literacy, education, and lifelong learning.

BooKey overall is a great tool for anyone looking to read more books and improve themselves. With its concise summaries and commitment to promoting reading, the app makes it easy to save time and get the most important insights from each book. And with the 21-Day Challenge, you can establish a habit of reading and give back to the community at the same time. So why not give BooKey a try and start establishing a healthy habit today?

Do As I Say, Not As I Do: A Humorous Take on Self-Advice Sabotage

The new way of getting jobs

Resumés don't work. Connections do.

I used to create and edit resumés as a side hustle. I learned soon after I started that it wasn’t the best business to run. Not because I was bad at it (my resumés were gorgeous and well-made), but because no one who could hire my clients ever got the resumés I made.  By the time I started this little side hustle, resumé screening software had taken over the business world. And most job…

How to Walk Your Talk: Practicing What We Preach in Parenting and Personal Growth

In my previous blog (check it out here if you missed it), we explored the humorous contradiction of being excellent advice dispensers to others while often ignoring that same advice in our own lives. Here are some playful yet effective tips on how we might actually start taking our own advice and begin to bridge the gap between what we say and what we do. We’ll tackle this in two parts; first,…

so there's this post that talks about how people call jason's curved knife a kris but it's not a kris 'cuz why would he have a southeast asian knife? and op's tags say if you're gonna give him an 'exotic' weapon at least make him malay or something. a later reblog adds a filipino kris as an example, and then i was like, 'omg, jason in a barong tho.' SO i tried designing a bat-barong inspired by his hood logo, for a filipino jason haha. and now here we are! 😊✨️🇵🇭
