Welcome to another installment of my Magic Mondays , this week was not the most productive one, but as always, I greatly enjoyed the process, what’s the point of doing anything if your not enjoying it.
And believe me, I’m reclaiming that joy from the time that the project began, it feels like all the new possibilities, future collaborations, and some plans beyond the written words in this blog, are injecting new energy into this slumbering project.
Even though this week, number twenty-one of this year of reading broke with the streak of the weekly total, I could only read 521 pages, the other activities from the week more than make up for it, my favorite thing was to resurrect the Caffeine Pilgrimage, post coming really soon I promise, and being a collaboration with someone so special that will be integral part of this new era of the blog, just make it worth not having that much progress for the week.
As always adjust will be made, for example, the goal for the current week, number twenty-two, will have to be 1,724 pages. This is typical when my reading doesn’t get quite where it should be. Not that I’m concerned about a little set-back, it’s actually more fuel for the fire and great motivation to dive into my beloved books and get some reading done.
Now, for the order of business, let us start with the most proximate milestone at hand, the 600,000-page mark. With all the milestones, and in sight of the low number for the week, there was a little step back. Nothing catastrophic and easily managed. For this milestone there’s still 4,749 pages to go, and the new projected date is December 16 of this year, three days later that the last projection, but I’m more than happy that is still happening this year.
The next milestone, the 750,000-page mark, and the one that has an amazing prize at the end, further down the road, I will elaborate more on this matter, but the thing that can be shared right now is that it is a 10-day road trip to reconnect with nature. But in order to do so, I must first reach that coveted goal. Right now, there’s 154,749 pages left, last week the project date was March 31, 2030, there was a little 3 day step back and this week date is April 3, 2030. Still, my main goal is to finish around April, 2027, to have at least 4 years to handle the last quarter million pages.
Talking about the final milestone, the coveted 1,000,000-pages left mark, the same as with the other important milestones, a bit of a step back. The date from last week was May 27,2037 and for this week is June 1, 2037 , just like the other two, a 3 day set back. Not a big issue, but one that I must not let happen that often.
This still keep me in around 55 years old when this milestone is achieved, but with consistency and a lot of caffeine, that goal will be conquered, more now that ever, my motivation is sky high.
