The opening podcast of 2025 from the Nurturing Librarian Podcast invites listeners to envision their reading goals for a new year. Beyond just a numerical goal, the host encourages listeners to understand how successful reading makes them feel, connecting this sentiment with a sensory experience to enhance motivation. Goals can be trying a new genre, reading a certain number of pages or even maintaining your habits from 2024.****Resources <a href="https://www.sandiego.edu/hr/documents/STAFFGoals-PerfPlanningGuide1.pdf" target="_blank">University of San Diego SMART goal template</a>Connect with me on Insta and LinkedIn at The Nurturing Librarian****Looking for more book recs?
