5 Tips untuk Rasa Teruja Membaca

Bismillah.

Sebelum ni saya ada nyatakan antara tips untuk berjaya habiskan baca buku ialah; beli buku yang memang kita teruja nak baca & nak tahu isinya. Tapi, macam mana pula cara untuk wujudkan perasaan tu? Ini caranya 👇🏻 

1) Follow social media penerbit buku. Antara penerbit buku yang saya suka & rekemen; Iman Publication, MustRead, PTS, Jejak Tarbiah, Tertib Press, Karangkraf, Karya PiS. Kalau tak follow, macam mana nak tahu berita tentang buku itu ini yang best, kan? 😄 (Tapi yang ni ada risiko sikit, risiko tak boleh berhenti beli buku. 😂)

2) Setiap kali pergi mall, wajibkan diri pergi kedai buku. Ini lebih mudah sebab kita boleh belek sendiri isi kandungan & tengok samada kita suka atau perlukan buku tu atau tak. Kalau bukan jenis yang suka pergi mall, wajibkan diri pergi kedai buku mengikut jadual, mungkin seminggu atau sebulan sekali. 

3) Follow FB/IG komuniti buku, kelab buku atau yang sewaktu dengannya. Contohnya; Reading Muslimah, Suri Membaca, Bookends MY, Untitled dan sebagainya. Kalau mereka ada group whatsApp, boleh join (tapi sebaiknya join group yang tidak bercampur antara lelaki & perempuan)

4) Kenalpasti apa yang kita perlu ambil tahu? Contohnya kita ini seorang ibu, dah cukup atau belum ilmu parenting yang kita ada? Atau kita seorang Muslimah, tapi sudah cukupkah apa yang ada dalam dada kita berkaitan tanggungjawab seorang Muslimah? 

 

Kenalpasti juga apa genre buku yang kita suka & kita rasa boleh bantu baiki diri serta hidup kita. Kemudian rajin-rajin ambil tahu tentang buku berkaitan yang ada di pasaran. Kalau tanya saya, saya suka buku self-growth. 

5) Buat akaun instagram dan follow hashtag #books #bookstagram #bibliophile #malaysiaMembaca dan yang berkaitan genre buku kegemaran anda. Supaya sentiasa up-to-date dengan berita-berita berkaitan buku & juga untuk sentiasa ada motivasi membaca. 

 Kenapa Instagram? Kerana setakat pemerhatian saya, akaun social media yang khusus berkongsi tentang buku kebanyakannya ada di Instagram, bukan di FB. Tapi apa salahnya kita mulakan budaya berkongsi tentang buku yang kita baca di FB. 😄 

Mudah-mudahan boleh beri sesuatu yang bermanfaat kepada orang lain & jadi sumber pahala kita.

3 Tips Mudah & Berkesan untuk Baca Buku

Bismillah.

Saya nak kongsikan 3 tips mudah dan inshaAllah berkesan untuk membaca buku sampai habis, terutamanya untuk yang baru nak berjinak-jinak dengan tabiat membaca (beginner).

1) Beli buku yang memang anda betul-betul teruja nak baca. Cari buku yang penulis atau isi kandungannya anda suka dan rasa tak sabar nak baca. Bukan beli kerana terikut-ikut orang lain tanpa benar-benar tertarik dengan isi kandungannya. 

2) Letakkan matlamat berapa lama anda perlu habiskan membaca buku tersebut. Contohnya; dalam masa 2 minggu atau satu bulan. Bila ada matlamat, anda akan lebih termotivasi untuk kejar target.

3) Fokus satu buku dahulu sebelum beralih kepada buku lain. 

Itu saja. Mudah kan? Bila anda dah berjaya konsisten membaca, bolehlah naikkan jumlah target buku yang dibaca. Tak perlu bandingkan berapa buku yang anda baca dengan yang orang lain baca. Yang penting baca & pastikan apa yang kita baca tu mampu mengubah diri kita menjadi lebih baik.

Selamat membaca! 

Resilient

 Bismillah.

A quick update. Just wanna share my current favorite word; resilient.

All this while I think the meaning is to be strong while facing challenges and life's adversity, but it actually means more than that. 

Resilience means; 

the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.

And someone who's resilient is;

able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.

Beautiful, isn't it? Being strong doesn't mean that we don't feel the hardship, the pain or the suffering. We do feel it, but we manage to recover from it quickly and we don't let ourselves drowning in the difficulties without having the intention to truly heal.

And, this word actually has something to do with one of my current jobs. You'll find out about it really soon inshaAllah.

Till then, goodbye! 

Sleepy but Wanna Write Something

Bismillah.

Before this, I planned to make this blog as a niche blog regarding book, reading and such. But as time goes by, I think it's not a good idea since I have no time to properly curate the content that I wanna share here. Perhaps Reading Muslimah IG is enough for bookish stuffs.

As for this blog, I wanna continue writing randomly about anything I want. As what I used to do since years ago. One day all these writings will be significant, no matter how random it is. And I love to think that one day when Majdiyya and Ajda grew up, they will feel happy to read their Mama's ramblings here. 

My current work update;

- got a job from a publication company, as a content writer for their new book campaign. You'll love the book!

- Started my responsibility/job as product ambassador of a Quran seller. Though this is my first time being an ambassador, this ambassador thingy is one of the things that I have knowledge regarding it. 

- As for Elsajida, I already stopped accepting any paid product review on IG story. I have a few strong reasons why I did so. And I only accept gift review for certain products. So far I don't have any big plans for Elsajida yet, just continue updating inspiring quotes and stories. When the time is right, inshaAllah we'll see how it goes.

Anyway, I have to stop now. I am sleepy and it's time for me to sleep, not rant. 

 

Of Reading Muslimah, Elsajida & Journaling Muslimah

Change in my life has forgotten how to press its brake. It keeps coming and coming and I have no choice but to be strong and resilient. 

This month, I have made the decision to partially let go of Reading Muslimah. Sure I am still a big part of it but I am no longer the content creator nor the admin. I have told Safa that she has to take the responsibility since I need to focus on my dream, on my work. 

Of course Reading Muslimah is my dream too, like I said before I am still the founder, the advisor, the heart of it. It's just that I am no longer the 'Kak RM' people used to call. I have given a big portion of the company share to Safa as well. 

I trust Safa on this. She has been my 'student' for more than a year and I believe she can figure it out. To prove this, she recently asked 3 most committed members of Reading Muslimah to help her to navigate the journey of Reading Muslimah. Each and every one of them (Siqah, Faraa & Aliyah) has their own strength to help Reading Muslimah to expand, inshaAllah. 

As for Elsajida, I have stopped some big things regarding it in order to lessen my time, energy and focus on it. I have no intention to stop updating Elsajida since it's my passion; which is to inspire women out there. And Elsajida is the perfect place for me to do so. So far, I will only use Elsajida as a place for me to update Islamic & inspiring quotes. And the quotes aren't designed or prepared by me. I ask my daughter to help. I plan to properly hire someone to help me regarding Elsajida but, not in the meantime. 

I let go of more and more things that I think I have to let go. I just can't deny that in order to succeed, I have to FOCUS on one thing. I don't wanna be 'neither here nor there'. And what's that one thing? It's Journaling Muslimah. I am doing my best for it. From the early days I create it, I can already see its potential to grow worldwide. My goal isn't money; it's sharing about Quran and at the same time, improving my relationship with Quran. 

May Allah ease.
