January 2023 Summary

Previous month

January 2023 Sources: 02/02/23

Three weeks of nonstop rain kept us inside, making more time to read. I still have the kitchen to put back together after the remodel. That's taking longer that I had hoped. Maybe this month I'll finally be able to park in the garage again.

In January I read 17 TBR books, up from December's 17 TBR. Seven books were published in January. Four books were for research. None were from the library. My ROOB score for January up significantly to -1.96. It was among my worst January's. My worst (highest) January, though, remains 2018's.

You'll also notice I've changed how I'm representing my monthly ROOB scores. The connected lines were obscuring the data. So now I'm focusing on the discrete moments of time, namely the end of each month when I actually calculate the score. The current year's scores will be represented by a triangle.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

I predicted a -2.3 for January and did worse. For February, I'm predicting an improved number, -2.75.

My average for January worsened slightly, going from -2.42 to -2.38.
