Welcome back to my Magic Mondays, the blissful day when I get to obsess over how much did I actually progress with my goals, hyperventilate, write about it, and then continue with my reading, because panicking has never been a solution to getting to those pages read.
I’ll start with the most proximate goal, and work myself up to the elephant in the room, those coveted million pages.
To start, there’s only 2,063 days left until the deadline of my project, better known as my 50th birthday, and a whole lot of pages to go thru. But as my mantra has always been, “one page at a time”, the next milestone is of the utmost importance.
But I’m getting ahead of myself, the current year, the 18th of this project, began a little bit slow. In the 20 weeks that have transpired, only 3 have been completed with their respective total projected, those numbers will simply not do. The current total is a meager 15,138 pages , but hope has been regained, the past week was phenomenal, a total of 2,000 pages. and I intend to continue with that pace, in doing so, this could be easily a over 50,000 pages year . I’ll make the remaining 237 days worth every second.
My next big milestone is reaching 600,000 pages. I’m glad to say that is even closer that expected, right now there’s only 6,452 pages left, and with the current pace, I’ll be crossing that goal on December 24 of this year, as always,each day , I’ll strive to bring that date close and closer.
The next milestone , 750,000 pages, is another beast , right now my projection is to get to that goal on April 23, 2030. That would leave only a year and two months to read the remaining 250,000 pages, insane numbers , that quite frankly, I see as impossible to achieve, that’s why my intentions is to reach that three quarter of a million pages no later than April 2027, let’s see how this progress each and every week.
Now, for the aforementioned elephant in the room, the projections place that particular milestone way too far from my original goal. Right now it sits, uncomfortably, at June 14, 2037. That’s 6 years and 8 days too late for my liking. As with all my goals, I’ll keep close tabs on the progression forward, as I said before, “one step at a time, one page at a time”, but right now it will seem that jogging is no longer the method of getting there.
A full sprint is my future, a whole marathon at the speed of a 100 meter race.
So quick recap:
Total pages: 593,548 pages
Date to achieve 600,000: December 24, 2025
Date to achieve 750,000: April 23,2030
Date to achieve 1,000,000: June 14, 2037
Pages left on (Y-18): 55,127 pages
For now, I’m off to read
