I reread Fr. Gallagher’s book on praying the Examen periodically as a booster shot, and it usually gets me back into the routine I want again at least for a month or two. And I’m sorely in need of a reread once I unpack my books.
I used to do the same thing with my embroidery, inkle weaving books, etc, as much to motivate me to take on new projects as to review techniques.
