My goal is to chill the fuck out. I'm going to pare down the number of goals I've set for myself, and divest myself of any physical detritus associated with the ones I've abandoned so that I have less clutter to deal with. I'm going to make simpler, more standardized meals with fewer ingredients so that I spend less time cooking and cleaning the kitchen. Any time savings I realize from these efforts will be redirecte…
In 2023, I promise myself to play a hard ball with anyone requiring my presence on periodical meetings. I love to meet people, but not agenda-less people.

i recommend exercise. I'm over 50, and often after work I'll feel totally drained. after some kind of physical activity - and food - I have energy well into the evening. 20 years ago, I didnt have to do this, but at my current age, this fixes it.

-------------------------------------------
Some of my achievements include:
- Reading ~20 technical books.
- Going through ~20 technical courses.

Observations at age of 31 studying tech material:
- My memory is good, but isnt as stellar as it used to be when I was 21 :(
- Accepting that, dedicating some take good notes.

For the great narration with stunning visuals and great story, you might like to play Bioshock series. Right now I think they sell entire collection (Bioshock 1,2 and infinite) on sale on Steam.
Hah! Love your nick! I haven't played games in years, but, I really enjoyed half life and the bioshock series (and portal, absolute classic). Any others to recommend in that vein?
