To sleep on my back. Being a life-long side sleeper has caused a lot of shoulder and upper back problems that sometimes make it hard for me to reach out and type. I wish I'd done this ages ago. It's one of the hardest things I've had to learn.

So, not sure if this fits the question - spent a lot of time learning new tech, focusing on non-tech for a short period of time. I feel that I have been overlooking that side of skill-set.
Right now I suppose I'm semi-actively learning Erlang & OTP (I vastly prefer the syntax compared to Elixir).
In the future I want to learn more about the BEAM (how it's implemented, my basic details are good but I'd like to get to internals). I want to learn about compilers too, to be able to for example contribute to BEAM. Oh, and I want to learn lisp + work through SICP.
edit: oh also just the small matter of Mathematics (from like half way through GCSE to A Level). Russian would also be interesting.
It feels good to be a total beginner and then slowly learn different tricks/moves.

Lately I have been diving deep into ancient astronomy, Babylonian astronomy in particular. I have a PhD in astronomy, but I've found that a lot of astronomers tend to have a somewhat superficial knowledge of the history of their field. To motivate myself to learn more about it I started podcasting what I learned with the schtick being that I release episodes every full moon to force myself to keep it up.
