Free time: I am in the position right now where I have ample free time. As much as I love Netflix binging and sightseeing in beautiful California weather - now is the best time for me to do a challenge like this.
Seeking inspiration: My creative side has remained dormant these last few years. I really want to start writing again (e.g. poetry, stories, etc). I believe forcing myself to read 50 books this year will help encourage my creativity again.
Bragging rights: Hey, I think that this is a valid a reason as any! How many people can say they've read 50 books in a year and have done so voluntarily? Yes, I am totally in this for the bragging rights! ;)
I can totally relate about the creative side remaining dormant part. I used to want to write so much a few years ago, but lately I've been slaking off so much and got caught in the internet world. Hopefully, I'll get back to reading and writing sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteI see you can totally relate to my situation right now. =) Good luck with that Constantin, what I've discovered about doing difficult things: don't think about it or plan it, just do it and make changes when applicable later.
DeleteThis is a good goal to have for the year. One, I believe reading to be a relaxing way to spend my time. It allows me to get away from all the stress that has accumulated through the day and just let it go. Two, I believe reading does inspire you to do or be more creative.
ReplyDeleteYes reading I feel is almost like watching a movie it temporarily takes you away and ultimately becomes another form relaxation. :)
DeleteHello Sharon,
ReplyDeleteI personally believe this is a good goal to have. However, if it was me I don't think I would ever be able to read that many books in one year. I can hardly read one without getting bored now days.
