2018 Personal Goals - Initial Post

As a recap of the previous years we have:

2010: 14% completed
2011: 30% completed
2012: 48% completed (counting partial completions)
2013: 28% completed (counting partial completions)
2014: 37% completed (counting partial completions)
2015: 29% completed (counting partial completions)
2016: 29% completed (counting partial completions)
2017: 25% completed (counting partial completions)

And so, even though I completely fell off the curve for 2017, I actually didn't end up doing much worse than usual. Maybe I'll try to temper my goals for 2018.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

14. Get caught up on my to read pile (which is mainly Star Wars but some other stuff as well)
