What works really well for me is to make consistency goals. I had a secret goal this year of reading every day and unless something crazy happens in the last weeks of the year, I’m going to make that. I see two problems with “read every day” goals though.

For this, I feel like I’ve found a way to make it work, going around the limitations of the read everyday goal. From my 2024 Korean goals:

Daily reading (if reasonable, there will be no burnouts happening next year)

I usually end up reading 25-30 days a month, because keeping that perfect streak would be impossible (and demotivating when it inevitably breaks), and forcing myself to do so anyway is almost certainly going to affect my health (both mental and physical) negatively. So while I ended up reading very little in Korean during the summer after medical advice to just rest, I still counted that goal as achieved. Because that’s just it, I did read daily when I was physically able to, and managed not to overexert myself when I couldn’t.
