I've been having bad luck with my ROOTing these past couple of years, Real Life having intervened with numerous medical problems, stuff like CHF and COPD and prostate cancer, so I'm just going to post my ROOTs this year without setting a goal. (Well, I've actually set a goal of 1 for Ticker Factory purposes.) I'm hoping I have a good ROOTing record, but my ROOTs can just be assigned gratis to help the Group reach its goal.
What I'm going to do is list all of my reading by a monthly post, and identify which of the books constitute ROOTs, which will be the number that I will enter for my monthly ticker.
Maybe in a couple of months or so, if I find I'm getting more into the spirit of things, I'll change my mind and set an actual goal. For now, though, I'm just going to wait and see so that I don't mess up the Group's success by setting a goal that I find I'm not going to meet.

>9 connie53: Thanks! I think it's easier for me to just do it – not set a goal but just give the ROOTs to the group. Not feeling under pressure makes it easier.
