My biggest downfall is my eyes being too tired to read but thank goodness there's audiobooks!

My only two goals this year is to read good books and fall back in love with reading. I got back into reading early last year and instantly fell into the “Goodreads goal” trap, which caused me to basically ‘stress read’. It was mostly <300 page books I rarely enjoyed just to hit my goal and I bought so many books just because they were popular, not because I actually wanted to read them. If you’re wondering how that went, let’s just say my average rating last year was 2.8 😭
So this year I’m only buying books I’m actually interested in, and I try to only mood read in order to prevent a reading slump. I do have a rule to never have a physical TBR over 30 books, just to make sure my book buying doesn’t get too out of hand and I don’t buy books I don’t actually want to have on my TBR lol. I also put my Goodreads goal to 12 even though my current pace is two books per week, just so I can feel like I’m reading for fun and not because I have to. I use StoryGraph and I have reading challenges on there, but they’re not really time sensitive (like the alphabet challenge, or trying to read a book from every country in the world).

Thanks for this video! It really is about time management and choosing to read and not scrolling thru your phone ..for me it's not my phone but tv shows..but like you said i need to choose to watch 1 episode and then go read ❤❤

Great video! 🤓I agree, be kind to yourself and set goals that work for you!

This was really fun! My reading is basically the opposite, only that I also read quite a lot. Great to hear about the different kind of reading you do ❤

omg i count audio pages separately too and i felt like i was listening to myself explain that 'cause i say it every month lmao you inspired me to try 10K pages in 10 days and after that, I think I'm going to start just counting audio pages in my daily goal too hahah

Shows and movies don’t exist to me anymore 😅

Something I do (in addition to having a page goal) is try not to end my reading in the middle of a chapter. So, if the amount of pages that I planned to read (let's say 50) takes me to the middle of a chapter, I keep going until I finish it and that's a few more pages here and there. It also helps me feel accomplished 🥸
