Book-Related Goals for 2018
Featuring a peak at some of my disorganized book shelf that doesn't know what's going on in life!
I am currently procrastinating writing a review, and instead of doing something productive like finishing the review, reading my next book, or writing out a list of all the reviews I still have to finish (it's like 30 books long. It's bad.), I decided I'm going to write a post about how much I don't want to procrastinate this year.
The irony is real.
Read 200 books. Obviously this is my Goodreads goal so not a huge surprise, but I'm already 3 books behind. Which is an improvement from the 4 behind I was yesterday but obviously it's not going well over here. My secret goal is to read 365 but that's definitely not happening.
Catch up on all of my reviews by the end of March. Which seems so far away but also I've dug myself into a hole so deep that I'm not even sure if it's night or day right now. It just looks black to me (I'm only kind of panicking right now. Just a little. *Sobs*)
Actually do my rereads. I've been meaning to reread some of my favorite books for like... 6 months now.... but I keep shoving them off in favor of new books.
Go through my bookshelf. I have probably at least 50 books that I never plan to read again and that I don't feel any sort of attachment to, so those are going to be shuttled off in order to make room for new ones. Or, you know, the four large piles I have on top of my bookshelf now that don't have shelf-space (sorry Harry Potter).
Stop procrastinating with reviews! If I was actually on top of things I wouldn't be in the predicament that I am now. Hindsight is 20/20...
Write more "random" posts. I really like writing them but with my whole review fiasco I'm struggling to schedule time in for them.
Basically don't procrastinate.
Take more pictures for Instagram. And for this website. I'm not a huge picture person mostly because I CAN'T GET THE CAMERA TO WORK but it's a process. I'm trying. Promise.
Set aside time for reading. A lot of times I get so stressed out with life that instead of reading I just lay in a puddle on the ground and then later stress about not reading and all that so I just need time to breathe.
Actually do NaNoWriMo this year instead of meeting my word goal for like 3 days and then forgetting that I had it, only to remember a less than a day before the deadline. I can't write 40,000+ words in 5 hours.
Summary: Work on time management skills.
(If anyone wants to give me tips for time management or knows what random posts they would like to see, let me know!)
