The pandemic kind of pushed my consumption into overdrive, so the goal next year is to put a severe damper on that. For food I'm going to try to eat half as much as I've been doing, unless it's primarily fruits and veggies (like a salad with some fruit on the side). Would reduce the number of calories I eat, decrease how much I spend, how much time I need to spend cooking or picking food up, etc.
Should also give me more time as I will try to avoid media that triggers my buying impulses, like a big one for me is board games, so no time spent buying new games, little time spent watching media about new games (games I already own is fine), etc, which should give me some time back, and maybe I can play all these new games I'm playing more than once or twice before letting them sit on a shelf untouched while I buy the next one.
I'm also going to try to do some form of exercise every day, as I need to get that back on track again.
Other than that, I'm going to try to get myself into a financial position where I can take at least six months off work to shed some old burnout technical debt and to try to knock out one or two projects I've been making very slow progress on the past few years.
Not sure if having a kid is in the cards for us this year again. Both of us are trying to juggle too many things as it is. Also, knowing how the world is headed I'm not entirely sure it's a good thing to do anymore (for the environment or for the kid), but my biological drive is quite strong and being a father is something I always wanted to experience. I'm already 17 years older than my parents were when they had me, which is just wild to think about, as I was already in high school comparatively.
