Reading Hub

When I was young, I discovered the world of reading. It's been a huge part of my life ever since. Because:

Reading healed me.
Reading broadened my perspective.
Reading changed my way of thinking.
Reading calmed my mind and kept it sharp.
Reading improved my focus and discipline.
Reading increased my self-confidence, creativity, empathy, and communication ability.

I didn’t only reap these benefits.

I also felt understood in many ways.
I experienced fun, misery, happiness, fear, peace, and many other emotions through reading.

Most importantly, reading let me learn almost anything I wanted.

I want you to have this meta skill in your life.

This is the purpose of Reading Hub.

Reading Hub provides a tool, a system, a structure to enjoy reading and make it a fundamental part of your life.

What is Reading Hub?

Reading Hub is a comprehensive and connected set of Notion pages, databases, tables and much more. That's why I named it "Hub".

It's an effective way to apply everything in the Reading Guide. It's also fun and engaging, just like games, because it’s crafted with gamification and storytelling techniques.

For more details about what's inside, you can check the "What Will You Get?" section.

Who is This Hub For?

If you get bored while reading,
If you don't know how to start reading,
If you easily get distracted while reading,
If you couldn't make reading a part of your life,
If you can't select good books, articles, and sources to read,
If you don't have a reading habit or want to level up your reading habit,
If you want to read more, internalize more, and remember every important thing you read,
And if you want to do all of these in an entertaining way,

Then, this hub is for you.

What Will You Get?

Let's explore Reading Hub. Below, you'll find information about each component of Reading Hub. Also, I highly recommend reading the Reading Guide to better understand the whole idea and structure behind it.

Reading Plan: Here, you can plan your reading. You can keep track of the number of books you plan to read based on their types, authors, dates, etc.
Reading Habit Tracker: This is a place to track your reading and maintain your reading habit. It stores your reading journey.
Books: You can track all the books you've read based on their authors, lists, progress, status, etc.
Articles & Blogs: You can manage all the articles you want to read, have already read, and plan to read. You can easily use it with Notion Web Clipper.
Authors: You can track all the authors here. You can add detailed information about them and see which ones are your favorites.
Lists: You can create a list or add a list from the internet here to use them in your future reading plans.
Notes: Here, you can find all of your notes from books, articles, and the internet. All of them are linked with authors, books, and articles.
Worth Reading Again: Some books are worth reading again and again. You can track them here.
Step by Step Complete Reading Experience: An approach for an efficient, useful, and joyful reading experience based on everything in the Reading Guide.
Dashboard For Reading Journey: All details of your reading journey are in place for you to easily monitor and manage them.
Quests & Achievements: Each component has its own purpose, and all of them matter equally. However, having fun while using them is also very important to me. I realize that if you don’t have fun, if you can’t engage, it’s hard to be consistent and get results. Plus, the process is just as important as the goals, maybe even more so. And I love games. I've been playing them since my childhood. When used in a good way, they’re very helpful. That’s why I added Quests & Achievements to each component. They not only make the process fun, but also give you very clear instructions on effectively using each component.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of Reading Hub?

I built Reading Hub on the Notion platform.

What is Notion?

Based on their definition, Notion is a single space where you can think, write, and plan. Capture thoughts, manage projects, or even run an entire company — and do it exactly the way you want.

I think it is more than that. What you can do with Notion is up to your creativity.

If you want more detailed information, you can check this link.

How can I use Notion?

Notion has a free plan for personal use. This means that you don't need to pay anything to use Notion, or in other words, to use my hubs.

You can sign up through this link and start using it. You can use it on a browser, on your phone, and on your desktop. All of them will be synchronized automatically.

Why did you use Notion?

Because it's a very flexible, powerful, minimalistic, and easy-to-use tool. My entire workflow runs on Notion. I use Notion to manage my life. It's that important and useful to me.

Who should not buy this hub?

Reading Hub is a set of methods, databases, structures, and steps to guide you. It will provide you a joyful and efficient reading experience, but it won't make you an avid reader without your effort and time.

Therefore, if you're expecting results without effort, this product is not for you. This product is not a "hack" or "trick," so to speak.

What happens after I buy?

Once you purchase, you'll receive instructions for duplicating Reading Hub into your Notion workspace. You'll have immediate access to Reading Hub and can start using it right away.

Does this include lifetime access?

Absolutely. You can access it for as long as you'd like without any additional payment.

Will I need to pay more for future updates?

Absolutely not! Consider this as a live hub. I'll be making regular updates as I uncover new information and insights. Plus, I'll be eagerly collecting feedback from all of its users and expanding the hub based on their input.

You'll always have access to the most recent version whenever you desire. While I plan on increasing the cost for future customers as the value of the hub grows, you won't need to worry about paying more than you already have.

What is the refund policy?

You can check my refund policy in the relevant section of “Terms and Conditions”.

In short, this product doesn't come with a refund option since it's a digital product and cannot be returned. I appreciate your understanding that this helps avoid misuse.

Let me gently warn you about this matter. Before buying this product:

Have a look at my social media accounts to get an idea of my expertise on this topic.
Go through the comprehensive 22,000+ word "Reading Guide" which explains the logic behind this product in thorough detail.
If you're acting on impulse, maybe take a moment to reconsider.

If you still find yourself unsure, feel free to follow me and sign up for my newsletter to get a better feel for my content.

Take your time, you can always come back and purchase it whenever you're ready!

How does this differ from other Notion templates on this topic?

There's a plethora of Notion templates out there, crafted by talented creators, but most of them are lacking in either big picture or details.

Reading Hub is not just another Notion template. It's more than that. It contains a vast amount of knowledge, methods, structure, and experience. Reading Hub keeps the big picture in sight while also guiding you through the details.

The following aspects also set Reading Hub apart:

I built this hub with numerous connections. This makes it a good note-taking system to support your knowledge on the topics you care about.
I used gamification and storytelling techniques to make it entertaining.
I've been a reader since my childhood. I read more than 1000 books in my twenties alone. This hub reflects my extensive experience in reading.
I'm covering both physical and digital reading. This means that you can use this hub effectively for online reading experiences too.
Finally, this isn't just a product I'm selling – it's a tool I use too. I have big plans to continue improving, expanding, and utilizing Reading Hub for many years to come.
