The World's Common Tater

Yesterday I published an article on Medium titled A 6 Month Check-In On My Reading Diversity in 2022. Spoiler – I have nost succeeded in diversifying my reading.

I looked today to see if I had posted goals or resolutions for the year. I did not.

I did find something I posted that was a one-year check-in after leaving my job. I did have a list of things I thought I should do moving forward. I succeeded in two of those and the others are things I no longer think are things I want.

A look at the two where I was successful.

Continue Writing Here and On Medium

I have published something here most days.

I’ve continued my daily What’s on TV article.

I have over 10,000 views so far this year.

I now have over 1000 followers.

I have been less consistent on Medium, but I have published regularly there.

I’m trying to get more writers for my publication, Reading is a Novel Idea.

I have earned $74. It’s not a lot but it is $74 more than I would have without Medium.

Regular Volunteer Hours at the Barn

I’m now volunteering three days a week.

I am now a facilities volunteer in addition to a barn volunteer.

I walk in now and people know my name.

People have started asking me if I have any interest in eventually being a barn lead(the person in charge of the barn and volunteers for a shift)

Final Thoughts

I feel like I have been successful in those two areas. The others had to do with getting a paying job. That might still be something in the future, but not a priority.
