Your words echo my own experiences. I’m glad I’m not alone. Interestingly though, after this year, I will no longer set a yearly goal for number of books to read. It feels like pressure I do not want nor need. While I will still track my books in Goodreads, no more goals. And giving myself permission to not finish books that don’t resonate is a biggie. Lastly, I have found myself listening to books while slow stitching. Knitting takes my concentration so listening while knitting doesn’t work for me. But slow stitching, yes.
Reading is my main hobby. I also track on Goodreads and I'm hoping to read more this year than next year.
So glad you've been able to find moments to rest and enjoy hobbies before hitting burnout.
Best of luck with your new home and hope things go smoothly!
Thanks for the helpful hints!💕
