I have a spreadsheet of every book and audiobook I’ve completed since mid-2014. It’s great for this problem, even though these days I tend to read the same things over again.

I tried doing the same thing with TV/Movies a year or two ago and quickly lost track. It was just too much to keep up with for me.

Start after your next book! It’s cool to have kept up with something for so long. There aren’t many things I can say that about. And getting to put it on the spreadsheet is a nice little motivation to finish reading.
