Goals & Plans 2025 + Review 2024

Japanese:

My goals for 2024 were:

  • read at least 12 books from my physical TBR :x:
  • read as many first volumes as possible (to decide, if series is worth continuing) :x:
  • only participate in bookclubs where I own the book ( Try again. Fail again. Fail better.) :x:
  • complete my Bingo card :x:
  • stretch goal 1: finish (on average) at least 1 book per week :x:
  • stretch goal 2: read daily :x:

And I think I failed every single one of these goals. :rofl: I am very good at this, aren’t I?
In theory, there is still time to catch up with some of these, but in reality, my schedule is full.
Glancing at my stats, I think I ended up listening to more audiobooks than actually reading books. I really need to put my focus back on reading with my eyes. My listening is slowly outpacing my other skills. :see_no_evil:

My goals going into 2025

  • Read 12 books from my physical TBR (I am not giving up… I will reduce my physical TBR… someday…)
  • only participate in bookclubs where I already own the book (This year, for sure, I will make it… :triumph:)
  • Prioritize books where I also have the audiobook (It gives me a speed boost :face_with_peeking_eye:)
  • Restart dedicated kanji study (i.e. work through Kanji in Context & some handwriting practice)
  • Work through 1 textbook
  • Stretch goal: Read daily
  • Stretch goal: Listen daily
