On Goals - The 3rd Edition

At the start of the calendar year, I said (alleged? posited?  threatened?) that I was going to read 40 books and watch 40 movies.

Now, it is December 25.
According to the www, that's about 359 days into a 365 day year.

Let's throw down the facts, as collected:

In those 359 days, I have:

read 35 books
watched 8 movies.

The uncollected, imagined statistics are:

In those 359 days, I have:

unloaded the dishwasher 280 times
read 195 picture books
done 42 craft projects that didn't result in something I could use, wear or hang up
washed 5,898,623,009,237,401,912 loads of laundry
packed 642 lunches
posted 1,097,865 facebook updates
run 330 miles
NOT run 200 miles
etc.
etc.
etc.
etc.
etc.

Which is all to say this:

I am nowhere NOWHERE nowhere close to reaching the goal I set last year, of reading 40 books, and watching 40 movies.

I'm okay with this!

  1. Good for you! I think goals like this are more intended to set aside time to do something enjoyable, not to stress you out and change something enjoyable into a chore. So I hope you enjoyed those 35 books and 8 movies!
