**January** ⏩ **February** ✅ **March** ⏩ **April** ❌ **May** ✅ - now this goal, initially set to go for two months, is finished, and I consider it a success. More detailed [impressions](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/scarabaeas-beeminder-journal/11894/64) in my journaling thread. **June** ⏩ - it was fun and nice to try out this additional metric for tracking my reading progress. At no time was I anywhere close to the YBR, so the goal did not really nudge me to do anything - but it is satisfying to see that I am actually reading 50 pages/day on average and even more, even in a month when reading was so much not my focus as in this one. The yellow lines help see that I am ahead of the rate. Will keep for a while. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/beeminder/original/2X/a/a1f9c93f26cd10dfd1c7b253fd0f592807003e73.png) For **July** , I will try to reuse the success strategy of the May goal, creating a new [one](https://www.beeminder.com/scarabaea/2025_july_pomos) where I will have to work for a specific number of pomos a day just on a list of specific tasks within my project (in addition to other ways I track the total time on project). The list will include four papers that need to be pushed each to a next stage in the nearest future, from just sending in an updated abstract for the edited collection proposal (a couple of hours of work), to looking through a language editor’s corrections and submitting a manuscript (a couple of days of work), to revising a manuscript based on reviews (a few days’ to a couple of weeks’ amount of work - haven’t seen the reviews yet, just was told they arrived), to writing one from scratch for a conference in early October. ~~(Yes, I do sometimes doubt my life choices but at least I will hopefully have a few publications all at once soon)~~ Will start with 2 pomos/day for the rest of this week - to take some time to look broader and see what else I have been missing, then 6/day, weekends off. Tracked through Intend. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/new-months-resolutions-2025/12082)._
