The stayfocused post ended up [here](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/beeminding-sticking-to-a-schedule/10768), and I’m finding it really tough to stick too but also very useful, which is a good combo.

# New goals

[cleanhouse](https://www.beeminder.com/k1rsty/cleanhouse) My housecleaner decided to retire after working for us for a number of years, and for various reasons I think it makes sense not to directly replace her, so I’ve made myself a goal to do the extra cleaning in the house that she usually did. Set to 3 hours/week, which was how long the cleaner came for, and I’m using the timer in the iOS app to keep track of it.

[readeveryday](https://www.beeminder.com/k1rsty/readeveryday) I joined in a Storygraph challenge to read every day in January and it was good for my mental health to try and get some reading in every day and not stop for a break after I’ve just finished a book. So I’ve set up a Beeminder goal to carry on doing that. I’ve used meta-minder to run it off my regular Storygraph autodata goal. It has a tiny bit of safety buffer and is 6.5/week to account for the fact that I think it might not always fire off on schedule as looking through the storygraph goal data it sometimes doesn’t pick up data until after midnight.

# Finished goals

[dancemusictime](https://www.beeminder.com/k1rsty/dancemusictime) A goal I set up to read Anthony Powell’s Dance to the Music of Time sequence. I originally had it set at one of the books per month but quickly dialled it back to a book every three months which fits my rhythm much better. I’m still not sure if I actually enjoyed them but I’m happy to have read them.

# Other comments

My `ratechanges` goal is working well at just dialling things up a bit without anything feeling too overwhelming so nothing major has changed. I haven’t derailed on anything recently.

I’m feeling like I have a good balance of goals at the moment, there’s always something to focus on but it’s not overwhelming.
