for example:
I want to read 50 books this year, so I’m setting aside 1 hour out of my day every day to read
for me, this feels a lot more achievable

An audiobook I’d been waiting to read for several months finally made its way to me on Libby, but I didn’t borrow it quickly enough, so it’s back to the end of the line for me. 18 weeks of waiting to start the new year.
