  • My goals for the coming years.

    ๐‘€๐“Ž ๐’ท๐‘œ๐‘œ๐“€๐’พ๐“ˆ๐’ฝ ๐‘”๐‘œ๐’ถ๐“๐“ˆ

    1. Set reading apps goal to 1.
      • This will help me prioritize quality over quantity. I don't want to have any pressure to meet a certain number.
    2. No more specific reading challenge.
      • No more monthly tbr, no 26 for 2026, no more genre or author challenge, no gamefication. I am and have always been a mood reader. It's about time I embrace it.
    3. Writing thoughtful/ critical reviews.
      • I hope this will help me develop good judgment and better my research ability.
    4. Choose only 2 reading app to keep.
      • As much as this hurts me, I need to delete some of my reading apps. I don't need 4+ reading trackers. I am not 100% sure now but I'm thinking to only keep GR and PB.
    5. Use bookstagram like a journal dump
      • I don't want to feel bad when I don't post on booksta. I don't want it to feel like a chore. I don't need to edit for hours for just one post. Just a simple picture is enough.
    6. Reread old favourites.
      • I am realizing I am getting in a reading slump more and more. Rereading will definitely help.
    7. Use libby mindfully.
      • Only put hold on books I 100% will read. When borrowing a book, choose the least lending period.
    8. Bye bye yearly reading journal.
      • I started making reading journals in 2021. Each and one of them are unfinished. If I am going to start a book journal it's only going to be for logging books I've read. Nothing more.
    9. Buy books mindfully
      • Only buy books I have loved before, or buy those I know I will 100% enjoy and keep.

    I was inspired by the YouTuber carolynmariereads to make this goals, especially the 1 book goal.

    I came to realize that i donโ€™t have to keep up with new trends, challenges, readathons, games i keep seeing online. No need to have every shiny thing i see.

    Even though half of my brain craves structure in my life, i know the other half will never follow it.

    I know i just wrote this 9 book goals i have for the future, but my overall goal in life(at least for now) is to have no goal at all. Just go with the flow.
