What /lit/ related things do we plan on accomplishing in the new year?

Personally, I want to read at least 6 hours each day.

I want to stop fetishizing books, want to spend less in buying physical books, and focus in the what matters most: the contents of what i'm reading, less caring about the ammount of books i read, and increase my reading comprehension capabilities

Trying to learn French to the point of understanding French novels and poems without any translator assistance. If anyone has tips, guides, resources, I would appreciate that. Also trying to read more nonfiction, philosophy and biographies especially.

I plan on finally finishing my BIPOC gay alien furry erotica. I'm currently 27k words in and have been working on it for the past 3 months. It is still in its first part. My outline consists of six parts. I truly hope that I could make it this year.

To read twice as much and to enjoy the books i read

>> No.21444153

Cut out all social media (including 4chan).

Spend a minimum of 15 minutes per day working on my writing. (Obviously 15 minutes isn't long, but I figure this is a goal I can meet even on days when I'm working a long shift or am subject to other complications.)

in descending order of priority:
1, Nietzsche's major works and secondary literature (looking at Kaufmann and Vattimo, maybe also the Roderick and Sugrue lectures)
2. Emerson's major works (might need secondary lit to understand some of the transcendentalist stuff)
3. Melville (his short stories and then Moby Dick; very much willing to do pre-work to enjoy that book better. don't know if reading Hawthorne is also a good idea)
4. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (planning on getting a license and a motorbike and some short courses in engine maintenance, so this makes sense to me)
5. Westerns (a couple generally recommended westerns before going into Lonesome Dove-- apparently McMurtry made a sequel to that too)
6. Anything else I might like
7. Might actually start with the Greeks in 2023, then spend '24 on it
8. General History (pretty sure i'm missing out on a lot by not having a basic grasp on this)

>6 hours each day.
currently doing that but only on MWF and Sun. many days i still wish i had more time. i don't read a lot by any means as i prefer to take my time and enjoy, or backread and understand better. uninterrupted reading time is ideal imo, stopping and starting loses too much momentum. read while you shit and read before work (assuming your schedule allows for that). really tough to read after work because you've already spent the better part of your mental energy waging.

to finish reading at least one book. i keep getting bored and abandoning books half way through and i haven’t finished a book in two years. i’m not sure the exact amount but i think i’m in the middle of 12-16 books right now. my goal is to at least halve that number.

Yes, it's a /lit/ related thing because if I get a GF I am happy, therefore I can read more time without getting tired.
