Update on #75booked: it isn't going. It stalled along with any motivation I had.
A week and a half ago I got a book hangover (and in my head). I started 4 books, DNF'd one, dragged myself halfway through another, and now two are just sitting there. Every book I should be reading gets the 5 year old niece treatment. "No."
Am I giving up? F*ck no. I just realized that I went in with too much impulse and not enough planning. (Thanks ADHD!)
What didn't work: no checklist, no routine, my phone within arm's reach, and a used "rescue" book I absolutely did not need.
What did work: slowing down, physical books, being the most hydrated I've been in years, and finally reading the TBR books I kept talking myself out of.
I'm restarting with actual prep, planners, and Fable AND StoryGraph on the team. Last reading goal of the year. It's on.
Start date for the new and improved #75daybooked is going to be October 1st. If you need to restart or want to join in on this keep an eye out for more info in the next week.
