    As every year, I tend to have thought about many projects that I want/could do in the coming year and then I am reminded of how I only managed to finish a fraction of what I wanted to to. I am sure some know this feeling, how do you deal with it?

It's kind of a double-edged sword, on the one hand it is easy to get dejected because of plans left unfinished, but on the other it does mean that you have a lot of interests which is a good thing. The best advice that I can give to you is to prioritize. Don't be afraid to make lots of plans, but think about which are most important to you. Then, if one of your big priorities falls through you have backup(s) ready and waiting. I need to do a better job of this myself this year.

Thank you for the advice. It sounds simple, write everything down, put priorities and stick to those. Review every week, rinse and repeat.

What do you have planned this year?

Weekly Review is a great idea!

This year I would like to attempt a craft fair. This will definitely impact my reading time though. I did a lot of crafting this year and it shows in my books read count.

Learning is always on my list, this year I am going to focus on photography and knitting.

I feel an ask hubski coming on.

I actually managed to read more books this year than in the last 5 combined. This was easy, as I didn't read a single book (okay, maybe one or two) in the 5 years before and this year I read 4 books!

Definitely not enough but it was a start, even though they were short books (Hermann Hesse)

My goal for books this year was 26, I managed to finish 14. (Yes I count graphic novels, which account for 4 of the 10.)

This year I guess I will set my number at 15 see how it goes.

I will set myself a modest goal of 6 books this year. It should be possible, if I count all the books that I started and didn't finish, I think they are 5.
