Welcome to another installment of my Magic Mondays, and I’m happy to tell it’s the second week in a row that this beloved section of my journey has made its way to you.
Let’s get into it.
Concerning the tenth week of my current year of reading, the total was a bit underwhelming, only 1,057 pages, almost 300 less of my minimal average for the week. Although this was not such a satisfactory result, there was a day of over 500 pages, quite the feat.
On a more positive note, the first 10,000 pages of the year were achieved over the weekend, thanks to some reading spurts my total right now sits at 10,639 pages. The next milestone on the horizon will be 15,000 pages, that, according to my projections, it’s 27 days away, that means that by September 6, I should be reaching that achievement.
Entering the eleventh week my goal is to read at least 1,419 pages to get back on track this reading year, it’s not that far off the rails, but that can change really quickly. Still, there’s 301 long days ahead of me before the end of the current year, and as always , the task is to rack up as many pages as possible.
Now let’s talk about the bigger picture, as you know, there’s 3 milestones that have my full attention, 700,000, 750,000 and the coveted 1,000,000 pages. Running the numbers for the week, new dates rise for each of the three.
The 700,000-page mark is projected for September 13, 2027, that’s 2 days gained from last week’s projection. This particular goal is one that I would love to finish before the end of this year of reading, that means June of 2027.
Next is the 750,000-page mark is projected for January 18, 2029. This date also show some improvement from last week’s projection, 3 days gained to be specific. This milestone is a particularly special because it encompasses a mystical trip that I have put off for quite a while and it will alter my future in incredible and fantastic ways, but that’s enough about that for now.
The big boy or the 1,000,000-page mark also show a measly improvement, 4 days of improvement from last week’s projection, which put it at October 22, 2035. I’m still 4 years , 4 months and 17 days behind schedule, fortunately, this number has come down consistently over the last two years. That keeps my spirit up and my hope on the idea that this crazy journey of mine is achievable.
Continuing with my side quests,on the 49-hour timed reading and the acquisition of more reading material, the clock moved quite a bit in my favor racking up 8 hours, 40 minutes and 19 seconds. Leaving still 37 hours of intense reading.
The second side quests, or how to read 100,000 pages in one year, just crossed into 89,361 pages left to achieve this gargantuan task. In order to get this quest done, my total for the week must be upward of 2,128 pages.
Lastly, my projection for my At the End total sits at 838,428 pages, there’s still a lot of work to be done to get this number over the 1,000,000-page mark, and with 1,765 days left for my 50th birthday, the focus should be nothing less than obsessive.
A quick recap:
- Total pages (Y-19): 10,639 pages
- Pages left (Y-19): 59,565 pages
- Total Pages (General): 659,619
- Date to Achieve 750,000 pages: January 18, 2029
- Date to Achieve 1,000,000: October 22, 2035
- Days Behind: 1,600 days
For now, I’m off to read
