New Month's Resolutions 2025

January :fast_forward_button: February :white_check_mark: March :fast_forward_button: April :cross_mark:
For May, I was tracking pomodoros (24/3) spent on specifically writing two papers that are due soon, so as to avoid procrastinating within time spent on project by reading around more and more instead of writing. This worked much better than the previous take where I tracked word count in the draft. I am probably doing pomodoros wrong (I usually work several at a time, regardless of the breaks, and get myself new tea even during the active pomo - found it hard to refocus back again if I actually make the scheduled breaks) but this works for what I need to get done, so what else do I want. I will continue :fast_forward_button: with this goal until the second of these two papers is done (due July 1) but in June I will have some breaks because of additional work-related events.
I am pretty overwhelmed with all the deadlines and events at the moment, so I really don’t want to introduce anything major right now. So, for June, I am choosing the goal tbr_storygraph_pages that I started a few days ago that tracks the number of pages I read daily from Storygraph. That’s a surprisingly late addition to all my TBR-related goals, most of which are whittle-down type (so if I have finished a book and checked out a new one, it looks like nothing has been accomplished - hopefully, this new goal will help against that feeling).
