Just set up a reading goal in Micro.blog for 2023. I kinda like how a book only counts to your goal when you write a blog post about it. A good way to keep track of what you’ve read in public.
Anyway, let’s see if I can reach the ambitious goal of finishing 5 books this year. 🙄
Rene van Belzen Good luck! I found challenges for myself too harsh, at least with a fixed number. Life always gets in the way, so the target has to accommodate for that by being fuzzy (a range, rather than a fixed number). So not 25 books in 2023, but 25-ish books in 2023-ish, give or take a few months. Even Apple does it like that.
Leon Mika @renevanbelzen Thanks. Yeah, I can understand that. My problem is that I tend not to finish books that I’ve started, or I go back to books I’ve already read, or I bounce between several books that I’m reading at the same time. I think a low goal like this would help me make small adjustments to my reading habits while also making it easier for me to finish new books. We’ll see if it works, and if it does I might bump it up a little next year.
