Reading is one of the easiest ways I know to slow down. It’s also the first habit to slip when work and side projects get busy.

So this year I set one small goal: finish at least one book a month. Any genre counts, audiobooks count, and a slow month just means a shorter book next time.

I’ll fill in the shelf above as the year goes on.
