Well I definitely missed the boat on the six monthly review of my reading goals! But hey no one is perfect right…
So a quick recap on what My Reading Goals for 2019 were:
- Read 2 Tarot Books
- Read 3 Self Help Books
- Read 4 General Fiction
- Read 1 Classic
- Read 30 Books in any genre I like
Sadly looking over my current number of books read (26), I knew I wouldn’t make the 50 book deadline by the 31st of December. Therefore I have been honest with myself and changed the goal from 50 to 40 books this year.
So my current goal is looking like this:
- Read 1 Tarot Books
- Read 2 Self Help Books
- Read 2 General Fiction
- Read 1 Classic
- Read 34 Books in any genre I like
I don’t see why we cannot adjust the goal post a little? I am keeping every category I set, which I the best possible wiggle room in this scenario. This goal was set with a positive mindset and shall remain a goal that I look forward to completing.
The current hurdles are General Fiction (GF) and the Classic Book category. Last year I read no Classics and only one GF. This year I have read no GF’s and no Classics!
Since I am going away on holiday in the next few days, I am determined to read on Classic (which I have decided upon as Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell) and one Self Help book. Doing this means I can tick off two categories! Luckily for me I am halfway through a book called Outer Order, Inner Calm by Gretchin Rubin.
So there is still hope yet!
How do you feel about changing your reading goal posts? Do you think it’s a better way than just watching yourself fail?
