Things I want to do better in 2023

An hour each morning before I start dayjob work sounds fair

Travel doesn't have to be only faraway destinations. I want to get in the habit of exploring locally as well.

Things get busy at work and exercise gets kicked to the side. I should make at least 10 minutes of intense exercise a non-negotiable daily activity.

The nature of my dayjob makes me prone to procrastination through perfectionism. I should set personal deadlines and stick to them.

My reading time is mostly the time I'm on the elliptical machine at the gym. For me, consistently going to the gym is the key to reading more in 2023.

So many side projects, so little time. But I should make time, because ultimately when I die, I want to be known for the work I did in my side projectsand not my dayjob work.

After all, when I get old and the kids fly out of the nest, I'll be spending most of my time with my wife. Better to nurture a good relationship now than try to salvage one in the future.

I live in a high cost of living area and reducing expenses is very important to my being able to ever retire

I think the best course is to slow down and think longer term.

I want to slow down and take time off to play more sports, video games, and board games with the family. Life should not be so serious all the time.
