Other Goals and Resolutions

Writing: Days I wrote: 0 . Number of words written: 0. I need to do better in April!

Prioritizing reading and writing time over screen time: This did not go as well as I’d like, but I did find more time to read. The political chaos remains stressful, and it’s very hard to avoid either doomscrolling to find out what’s going on, or playing games to escape.

Review more of the books I read: This too did not go as well as I hoped, but I managed to write and post 5 reviews, so that’s something! I hope to catch up a bit in April.

Unpack and reorganize my book collection: This is occurring alongside cataloging my books, so it’s limited to the pace at which I can catalog them. It’s slow (I’m working on a post about why.)

Catalog my books: I’m making progress, but slowly, for reasons I’ll explain in a future post. Books catalogued so far this year: 125.
