As a follow-up to a previous post entitled “Forming Habits: Daily Scripture Reading<\/a>“, daily scripture reading for me has not yet become an automatic habit like it was in my high school days when the mornings were filled with early-morning seminary. As part of building a new goal, it’s important to set reminders for yourself so that you can train yourself to turn this goal into a habit. This daily email reminder is the most important feature of ReadtheScriptures.com<\/a> and the main reason to use this website.<\/p>\n

Reading Statistics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right now the website keeps track of how much of a book of scripture you’ve read and displays the percentage as a small bar. As someone who grew up memorizing the backs of baseball cards, I’d love to have more detailed statistics than this, including some information about how many pages I read per day or how many days I’ve missed my reading schedule.<\/p>\n

Read at your own pace<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Read the Scriptures<\/em> you decide which book of scriptures you’d like to read and how fast you’d like to read it. A few schedules are all set up and ready to use, such as 30, 60, or 90 days to read the Book of Mormon<\/a>. You can also set up your own reading schedule which will let you read at your own pace.<\/p>\n

Work as a team<\/strong><\/p>\n

A newly-upgraded team feature lets you join teams with others and get basic statistics on their reading. Again, I’d love to have more stats here, but it’s enough to tell me that my wife is quite a ways ahead of me in her reading.<\/p>\n

Keep notes as you go<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to keep notes on scriptures, but I sometimes wish I could write more than what I can fit in the space of the margins. Read the Scriptures<\/em> has a web-reader feature that lets you read and write at the same time, without limiting the length of the notes you can write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
