It's time to move on. For the longest time, I've had the CURRENTLY READING widget on my blog, and it's taking forever to finish all the books that I've listed there. And I've been feeling like a total failure.
I want to feel "good" about the books that I "read" - so I thought to change the Goodreads widget to BOOKS READ. 
And now I'm feeling better. I like it when I'm able to finish something, like a book or a task or whatever.
Last month, I finished "Before the Coffee Gets Cold." I'm close to finishing "Atomic Habits" this June. I'm not after the number of books; I'm just reviving an old habit that has always served me well.

Exactly. I decided to just focus on what I have accomplished. It keeps me more inspired and motivated to work towards my goals.

Indeed. I need to have a sense of accomplishment somehow. Hope you're recovering well, Valerie.
