2025 Vision Board, Ins and Outs, & Reading Goals

My vision board for 2025: goals, manifestations, and reminders for the new year!

There’s a screenshot on here that I love that keeps me mindful: “this is gonna take 3 years” / “the time will pass anyway”. The passage of time will always continue, and many things in life take time to achieve like personal growth/education/career goals. Time is the context for growth.

My ins and outs for the year

Ins:

Reading before bed
8 hours of sleep
Consistent with barre/pilates
Leaning into hobbies that bring me joy
Prioritizing health
Being mindful of the present

Outs:

Mindless scrolling
Ubereats
Unnecessary spending
Sleeping at 2am

I really need to fix my circadian rhythm. After averaging 5-6 hours of sleep last year I’ve set a be-in-bed time at 10pm for the weekdays. Luckily, my latest class this semester ends at 8:15pm instead of 9:30pm so I have more time to wind down! Since I’ll have more free time (I’m only taking 4.5 credits), I’ll be reading a lot more!! I’ve set some realistic reading goals for the year. I was reading through some of my old blogs and I can’t believe there was I time that I read over 100 books a year. Who was that girl?? Where is she???

Reading Goals for 2025

Read 24 books
Read my shelf: for every new book I buy, I have to read one I already own first
Listen to my audiobook shelf during my commute
Finish the books I started last year!!
Read more books with subtle asian book club

In case you missed it, I shared my 12 most anticipated books of 2025, so that makes up 12 of the 24 goal! The other 12 will be from books my shelf, books for sabc, books I’ve already started, and whatever else may pique my interest!

My biggest and recurring goal every year is to read my shelf. I own far too many books that I need to read but it’s hard when amazing books are coming out every year!! I had a severe impulse book buying habit but I’d like to think I’m doing a lot better now thanks to my limited free time haha. Nonetheless, I’m excited for all the new stories this year!
