Two months into 2024 and my goal progress continues, though not at the same pace. Some goals have slowed down, while others have caught up, if not surpassed, their planned pace. Let’s take a look.
Goal #1 – Read every day
After my crazy reading pace in January, I’ve come back down to Earth here in February. While I’ve continued to get reading in every day of the month, the books I’ve read have been longer, so I only finished five books, bringing my total to seventeen for the year.
- The Universe in a Nutshell (Audiobook)
- Babel
- Beneath the Sugar Sky (Audiobook)
- Exam Red MS-900 Microsoft 365 Fundamentals, 2nd Edition
- Attack on Titan, Volume 2 (Graphic Novel)
Goal #2 – Post to my website every day
The streak continues. As of Thursday, I have posted for 62 consecutive days, including all of January (31) and February (29). With this post, the streak will reach 64.
Goal #3 – Minimize reliance on Big Tech
My focus in February was on my email, specifically getting more and more off of Gmail and onto the open source and privacy focused Proton Mail. It turns out there is also a Proton Mail app for Mac which, while currently in beta, is an excellent replacement for the built in Mail app, ensuring I am completely in the Proton environment, at least from an email standpoint.
Goal #4 – 2024 Winking Lizard World Tour of Beers
Unlike my reading pace, I’ve exceeded my beer tour pace thanks to purchasing a 6 pack and more regular weekly visits to the Lizard. I sit at 15 as of the end of February.
- Sam Smith Organic Chocolate Stout
- 3 Floyds Turbo Reaper IPA
- 3 Floyds Gumball Head Wheat Beer
- Abita Purple Haze Raspberry Lager
- Aspall Dry English Coffee
- Avery White Rascal Wheat Beer
- Ayinger Braiweisse Hefeweizen
- B. Nektar Kill All the Golfers Mead
- Abita Mardi Gras Maiboxk
- Abita Andygator Doppelbock
- Southern Tier Irish Cream Stout
- Fat Heads St. Fatty’s Red Ale
- Great Lakes Conway’s Irish Red Ale

We’re already finished with the first month of the year!
When the year began, I set myself with four goals I wanted to meet. Now that we’ve made it through January, let’s see how I’m doing:
Goal #1 – Read every day
It’s amazing how changing my focus has helped me read more. In previous years, I planned to read a book a week, 52 books in a year, but I never achieved that level. Last year, I barely made it past 20 books read.
In the month of January alone, I’ve read TWELVE.
- Rocket Fuel
- Astroball (Audiobook)
- WTF? What’s The Future And Why It’s Up To Us
- Children of Time
- We Stand On Guard (Graphic Novel)
- Attack On Titan, Volume 1 (Manga)
- Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom
- Literally The Book On Customer Success For MSPs
- The Tea Master And The Detective
- Day Of The Dead
- The Theory Of Everything (Audiobook)
- Exam Ref AZ-900: Azure Fundamentals, 3rd Edition
Goal #2 – Post to my website every day
I might be cheating a little, but this post will not only achieve this goal for January, but it will be my 34th straight day posting to Medi-Nerd. While some of these posts are simple, such as my Throwback Thursday photo posts, I’ve also written longer posts for book reviews and about my third goal, which we’ll talk about next.
Goal #3 – Minimize reliance on Big Tech
Mind you, I have a head start on this since I’ve moved some of my services, such as my email, away from companies like Google. While I’ve posted about changing my web browser to Firefox and my search engine to DuckDuckGo, I have plenty more to move and talk about.
Goal #4 – 2024 Winking Lizard World Tour of Beer
Once again, I am working my way to earning another tour jacket from Winking Lizard by drinking 100 unique beers on their tour during the calendar year. So far, however, I’ve only had two beers as I’ve only been to the Lizard once so far. Fortunately, I can buy bottles and cans of beer that are on the tour and take them home, so expect a report of a 6 pack purchase in the near future.
- Ace Pineapple Cider Pint Glass (120)
- Dogfish Head Citrus Squall Golden Ale Pint Glass (625)
Here’s to continuing my success in February!

Over the past few years, I’ve tried to set myself a goal of reading a certain number of books in a calendar year. Usually, that goal is 52 books so I average a book a week. Life hasn’t always let me do so, however. Last year, for example, I was only able to read 19 books. This is by no means a failure on my part, but I do think I need to change my goal focus. Instead of a set number of books in the year, I’d like to build the habit of reading every day, even if it’s just a few pages.
The books I plan to read will come from the following:
- Books from my local library
- E-books, audiobooks, and graphic novels from the Libby and Hoopla apps
- Books I purchase locally, from either Black Cat Books & Oddities (new books) or The Bookshelf (used books)
- Books, e-books, audiobooks, graphic novels, and manga I’ve purchased from various Humble Bundle events
To track my reading progress, I have an account on Bookwyrm, a federated social media service for reading. I’ll also try to write reviews of the books I read, both here and on Bookwyrm. If you’re also tracking your reading, let me know where I can follow you so I can see what you’re reading.
