2022 was a year of big professional achievements and some aspects of my personal wellness took a back seat.

My primary goal in 2023 is re-focusing on fitness, wellness and reclaiming some personal time that was ceded to work.

I’m also looking to try some lifestyle experiments like not shopping on Amazon for a month in an effort to reform our household shopping habits.

This year I'm focused on trying to grow my Patreon. It's for a niche NES game development hobby that I don't expect to pick up any real steam, but I'd like to see if I can get enough side income from it to de-stress my day job a bit, let me consider a soft-retirement down the line where my primary income isn't the only thing keeping the ship afloat. I think that'd be a nice long term goal, but it's not remotely feasible if I don't put in the work. This year I'm going to do just that.
