Finding new hobbies

My one goal for the year was to read at least 40 books that weren’t kids books :laughing: I didn’t think I’d be to achieve it, because I am incredibly bad at making time for myself. I’m usually cooking, or cleaning, or working, or taking care of our toddler so I really wanted an easy goal for myself.

As of today, I’ve read 34 books! I am so impressed that I’ve been able to keep up with doing something for myself, while deep in the toddler trenches & freshly pregnant.

You’re doing great at reaching your goal! I start with small goals too because it doesn’t seem as overwhelming and when I reach it I increase it :grinning_face:

That’s so impressive!! That’s a great amount of books to read! What has been your favorite? Or at least who has been your preferred author? I ask as an occupational hazard :joy:(I’m a librarian, haha!)

My favorite was the Percy Jackson series! I think I still have a couple of books to read but I LOVED the entire series.

Thank you! I only read one book last year so this is definitely an improvement!

Setting goals helps keep me accountable, otherwise I’ll rot in bed in my spare time :sweat_smile:
