New Month's Resolutions

January /plank goal update:

This one’s still rolling along, though I haven’t stepped up nearly as fast as I’d like. In part that’s been due to stuff going on; not sure how that will improve now that I have some stress off my plate.

February /morningpages goal update:

This one has reaaaally suffered as I went into assignment crunch time, because three pages takes a surprisingly long time to write long-hand. I still think it’s a good ritual for me to have, though.

March /readscience goal:

Unfortunately, this one was a failure. I derailed on it and ended it before the end of the month. In principle, it’s not a bad goal at all, but it added extra stress when I reaaaally didn’t need it.

April /timeforme goal:

It’s time for a bit of rest and recovery, and one thing that’s suffered a lot in the last few weeks is my reading time. So this is a nudge to get back to it! It doesn’t matter what I read, whether it’s audiobook or physical, just that I spend some time doing something I enjoy.

I’ll enter the data the following day (since I read right up to midnight on the regular), manually, based on whatever the Bookly app says I did for that day.

I already have reading goals for the amount I read in both number of books and number of pages, but this one is more to encourage me to take my time and read whatever I enjoy, even if it’s a big chonky book, or a new book that I’m not going to be able to finish that day, or whatever. Sometimes I get too focused on finishing, and that’s no good.
