I hit my reading goal for 2026 very early in the year (before the end of January) & hadn't updated the goal because I thought it was a good representation of what I believed I could achieve since this was going to be my first full year reading post concussion. For those unaware, I had a severe concussion in 2020 which took away my ability to recall things that I read. I had to practice reading to regain that recall & by mid 2025, I read my first full novella in years but didn't dive back into reading entirely until the end of 2025.

I am now wondering if I should update that goal as we come into the last quarter of the year. I have already read over 175 titles this year & I think I could easily hit 200 before the end of December without causing myself stress. The question is - should I update that goal or just leave it at 12 since that was my actual goal at the beginning of the year?

Does anyone else update their goals throughout the year? What are your reasons for doing so (judgement free - I am just curious why someone would want to or wouldn't want to)?
