Welcome back to was supposed to be another Magic Monday, but let’s call it a whimsical Tuesday, and since I have not posted an update in a few weeks, there’s a lot to go thru.
Let us begin with the current year of reading , number eighteen, currently on week number twenty-five is shaping up to be one of the best so far. I’m aiming to at least be over the 60,000-page mark, but for that the most important thing is to see how the numbers are shaping up.
For the last three weeks, numbers twenty-two to twenty-four, I have achieved the weekly goal, even if just barely. The weekly goal is 1,351 and my total has been 1,363, 1,376 and 1,353. Like I say by the skin of my teeth, but either way, a win is a win. This surge in reading has gotten me to a total of 21,159 pages for the year, with 49,106 pages left on the goal.
The next milestones are reaching 25,000 pages, projected for December 18 of this year. The other two milestones within the reach of this year are 30,000 and 40,000 pages, which projected for January 26, 2026 and April 14, 2026, respectively. The next target will be to get the 50,000-page mark within the reaches of this year, right now the projection is for July 1, 2026, less that a month from the end of the year of reading.
Now for the bigger picture, the next milestone on the docket is reaching 600,000 pages, and I’m so glad to inform that the goal is just about to be conquered. With only 431 pages to go, the projection is to cross that threshold in 4 days. That’s 25 days before the projection that I had over 3 weeks ago.
One of my most coveted milestones is the 750,000- page mark, as I said before, this achievement has attached a very special reward, a road trip to some amazing destinations that culminate in the enchanting Monument Valley. The trip was masterminded by my partner in crime, taking it from a decent idea in the back of my mind to a mesmerizing adventure on the road, savoring the magical air of the desert. That only gives me extra motivation to bring that journey into fruition, because judging with the itinerary proposed to explore, she has a superpower for finding cool and enchanting places, the trip is going to be one for the ages.
With that in mind, the current situation is the next, I have 150,431 pages left to read for the goal, based on the current pace, that will be achieved in 1,568 days, giving us the date of March 4, 2030. Taking into account that the last projection situated that achievement on April 3, 2030, gaining 31 days of time is an accomplishment that should be revered.
For the elephant in the room, the behemoth, the gargantuan task, or better known as the 1,000,000- page mark, my progress was astonishing. I’m 4,173 days away from crossing the finish line. I know it doesn’t sound that promising but bear with me. The last projection situated the finishing date on June 1, 2037. With the last three weeks burst of pages that date move up to April 22, 2037, that’s 41 days earlier than the last projection. I’m still not near the neighborhood of my goal of being 50 by the time I reach my goal, but this gets closer and closer each passing week, right now, I would be 55 years 10 months 17 days old, but this number keeps decreasing , and with it, my hopes to achieve my goals.
For me, this step forward, although they might seem not that transcendent, are exactly the motivation and momentum to keep me pushing forward.There’s still some work to be done, this type of results become a breath of fresh air.
