I read books. I save quotes from e-books in my Notion table. Quotes from physical books are marked with a sticker and highlighted with a marker.

It’s important to me that the quotes I liked don’t get lost in the depths of my database and that I can revisit them from time to time. I considered marking specific quotes with certain colors (green – for sharing in a channel, red – useful for business, etc.).

But then I realized I’d be too lazy to set aside time to find the book, locate the sticker, and reread the quote. So, I abandoned that idea.

The solution came in the form of a Telegram bot, which I created and linked to my channel. Now, every morning, it will send a random quote from the books I’ve read in my library.

1. Quotes from the books I’ve read are published.
2. I’ll revisit them regularly.
3. Everything is automated, except for adding new quotes.

I think it’s very convenient 🙂.

I spent 2–3 hours working with ChatGPT and setting everything up, and then another hour troubleshooting why the server wasn’t starting at the scheduled time and identifying the errors.
