My 2018 Learning Goal

My 2018 Learning Goal

A note from the author...

One of the best ways to accomplish your goals is to hold yourself publicly accountable. For some, it's as simple as just telling people about them. For others, it's about building engagement throughout the journey.

I'm hoping that sharing my goals accomplishes both of these, as well as inspires others to do the same (be public with your goals)!

100 Books in 2018

I’m starting this goal late (February).

Rather than figure out how I’ll measure this against the year, for now, I’m just… starting .

The goal is to read 100 books in 2018 and I’ll be keeping track of them here .

Other than generally not being a big fan of fiction books, I don’t have much of a plan for what I’ll read.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
