Setting Goals for 2010
This is my kind of New Year’s resolution: every year I set a goal for how many books or pages (or both) I’d like to read in the upcoming year. Originally, I was inspired by the 50-book-challenge that was making the rounds on social networking websites (namely LJ, which I frequented at the time). I was pretty certain I’d never make it to 50, so I set myself the goal of reading 30 books that year.
For two consecutive years, I did not reach my goal. I wasn’t off by too much, but enough to somewhat disappoint myself. In 2009, I amazed myself. Not only did I get far beyond my 30 book goal, I went beyond the 50 book mark. Of course, I didn’t get much else done in 2009, other than keeping up at work and marginally taking care of my house and husband. I did a bit of knitting and crocheting, but my other hobbies took a back seat to reading for the most part.
Since I’d like to also focus on those other hobbies and some of the important people in my life in 2010, I think I may need to cut back on the reading just a bit. So, my new plan is to read my age…I’ll be 34 years old by the end of 2010, so that’s my goal–to read 34 books.
So, as I embark on this plan with Inkheart in my hand, I wish you all happy reading in the new year!
