It’s the end of Month 1 of 2018. I feel like I did a good job setting goals for the year, but I also feel like the key to seeing those goals realized is to divide those annual goals into quarterly and monthly ones. The reason is accountability. December 2018 feels a long way away, which means there’s less urgency to attack in January.
One goal I had was to read 30 books in 2018. I’ve had development goals before, but I’ve never really kept up with them. This year will be different, and one of the ways it’s going to be different is that I’m going to share the books I’ve read on my blog.
So for January, I read (or listened to) four books. Two were fiction (The Poet and Two Kinds of Truth, both by Michael Connelly. I mostly listen to fiction while I’m doing chores. It works for me, and Mandy doesn’t complain! The other two books I read were:
1. Your Best Year Ever, by Michael Hyatt - This book is all about the right kind of goal setting, which made it a great start of the year book.
2. Rest, by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang - The subtitle is “Why You Get More Done When You Work Less.” Is there a better subtitle than that! This book was incredible. I know it’s just January, but I feel like it could be a top 3 book by the time the year is over. Highly recommended.
