Revisit Your Reading Goals: Doing A Fourth-Quarter Check-In

Are you an avid reader who sets reading goals?  Or perhaps you’re an aspiring reader looking to navigate your way into a regular reading habit?  Whatever category you fall into, it’s important to periodically reassess and adjust your reading goals.  In this episode, I guide listeners through the process of doing a fourth-quarter reading check-in which is designed to help readers redefine reading goals if necessary, devise an effective plan to achieve them, and finish your year strong!

HOW TO APPROACH YOUR READING GOALS CHECK-IN

This episode is aimed at fostering an attitude of flexibility and adaptability towards reading goals.  The real goal, especially when it comes to our reading life, is to make reading an enjoyable and fulfilling journey rather than a competitive and stressful endeavor.

In the episode, you will hear me stress the importance of a fourth-quarter reading goals check-in.  Why, you may ask?  Well, as the year progresses, it’s easy to lose sight of your goals.  Therefore, it’s crucial to reassess your objectives and make necessary adjustments to keep them realistic and achievable.  So I shared my five-step process for conducting an effective check-in.

5-STEPS FOR YOUR READING GOALS CHECK-IN

1. Reflect on your reading journey so far.
2. Review your original goals.
3. Assess your progress.
4. Adjust your goals as needed.
5. Create a plan to achieve your goals.

THINGS TO REMEMBER AS YOU DO YOUR READING GOALS CHECK-IN

For those who feel they are off track with their reading goals, I assure you, it’s never too late to adjust them.  It’s okay to make changes to your goals to make them more realistic and attainable for where you are in life right now.  So reflect and adjust, while keeping the concept of flexibility and adaptability towards your reading goals at the forefront of your mind.

A key point shared during the podcast episode is that reading is not a race or competition.  Instead, it’s an individual journey of discovery, growth, and enjoyment. Thus, adjusting your reading goals to align with your personal needs, preferences, and lifestyle is not only okay but necessary for a fulfilling reading experience.  After all, our reading journeys are deeply personal and constantly evolving.  So it’s crucial to periodically reassess and adjust our reading goals to ensure they continue to enrich our lives.

So, as we approach the end of the year, take some time to reflect on your reading journey so far.  What books have brought you joy?  Which ones challenged you?  And most importantly, what do you hope to achieve in your reading life in the remaining months of the year?

Remember, it’s never too late to adjust your reading goals.  What matters most is that you continue to enjoy reading and grow as a reader.  So, pick up that book you’ve been meaning to read, join a book club, or set a new reading goal.  The world of literature is vast and full of wonders waiting for you to discover.  So enjoy the journey!
