it's okay to be behind on your goodreads goal

I used to be stressed out about being behind on my Goodreads goal. Then, I took time to reflect and reframe my thinking about how my reading has been going this year. This video contains reflection questions for you to reflect on how your reading life is going this year.

No one should ever pressure themselves to do things that are supposed to be FUN. If you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it. It's fine. I set a Goodreads "goal" (intention, whatever) to read 5 books a week in 2024 ( 260 books). I am not even close 😆 and that is fine. Reading is still my favorite hobby, but I haven't prioritized it as much as I intended. I also spend a lot of time doing puzzles (crosswords, sudoku, logic, word games, etc.) and listening to music.
Nice discussion.

That's a great way to frame your goodreads goals and that's great hearing about your other hobbies too! 😊
