I completed 1,402,369 steps on my fitbit and still logged too many hours on Steam (4939 hours since 2015, 2000 of them on Factorio)

Wooo Hoo, I still suck but did much better than last year.  Everything kind of dropped off from October when I wasn’t at home much

Personal goals

Overall completion:

Books read: 0 out of 10 books, including re-reads

This includes books started before 2017 and not finished.  Still not re-read the entire Potter books again, therefore I read a grand total of 0 books.  I suck

Films watched: 11 out of 20 films, including re-watches

Not too bad, most films watched in the last week of the year.  Managed to catch Avengers: Age of Ultron, guess I have a few more films to watch now as I have to see what happened/happens

Seasons Watched: 30 out of 30 full seasons, including re-watches

This includes finished half seasons started in 2016, i.e The Walking Dead, NCIS.  Highlights Stranger Things 2 and Major Crimes (Seasons 1-5)

Music added to iPod: Add 236 out of 400 tracks

I still cannot skate backwards :( but I did walk nearly 2.5 million steps, only 10k short

Also I think I would have been more productive had I not spent over 500 hours on Steam, tho I am still enjoying Fallout 4 and Factorio.  However this time doesn’t include any games I play on Origin, Uplay or GoG Galaxy, oops

I still suck but I am getting better at hitting my targets

Personal goals

Overall completion:

Books read: 3 out of 10 books, including re-reads

This includes books started before 2016 and not finished.  2 years without re-reading Harry Potter, Godson is just starting to read them so good time to refresh my memory.

Films watched: 13 out of 30 films, including re-watches

Several new films and a few re-watches.  Jurassic World and the Jungle Book the best of the bunch

Seasons Watched: 30 out of 30 full seasons, including re-watches

This includes finished half seasons started in 2015, i.e The Walking Dead, NCIS.  Highlights Stranger Things,  Lie to Me which I had not seen before and Private Eyes which I’m pleased it will at least have a second season, don’t think it will survive much beyond that but it’s a good Castle replacement.

I was still rubbish at completing my goals this year :(

I did much better on my personal ones, however I do need to spend a fair bit of time on my websites, they’ve been a bit neglected lately as I’ve been working on helping someone with theirs

Personal goals

This includes finished half seasons started in 2014, i.e The Walking Dead.  Also a bit of a cheat as I watched the entire season on Forever twice :)

I’ve finally finished Stephen King’s It, again, it’s one of my favourite books but only the second time I’ve got all the way through.  Some parts of that book I’ve read 4 times!

First attempt I was about 16, got halfway through and gave up, finally read it all the way thorough at about 21.

5 years ago I thought it was time to re-read it, one piece of advise don’t take it as hospital reading.  I associated that book with hospitals for several years and could now only pick it up again.  Next time I’m visiting someone in hospital I’m taking Harry Potter, I’ve read them so many times it will never be associated with hospitals.  I was doing really well reading every night at the start of the year but was distracted late January and have done much less reading since then.

Still a great book and I loved the 90’s mini-series, but would love to see it done full justice and stay more true to the book.

Now for something a bit lighter, I think

I’ve decided to set myself a few challenges for 2014.

1. Work on my websites more regularly
2. Read more, including Classic I should have read already
3. Watch more films
4. Add more music to my iPod
