#12For me the change would be to become spherical. That would simplify some calculations.
A friend of mine tries to bake a spherical pie for pi day (March 14) each year, with varying approaches (and levels of success).

#13I’m of the belief that doing just about anything every single day for a year will change your life! A key for me has been to “lower the bar” so that I can keep the promise to myself and maintain momentum through days of low energy or enthusiasm, e.g. playing the guitar for 1 minute, or writing 1 sentence.
Similarly, just showing up at the gym/hobby/sport is huge. Even if you do next to nothing.
Someone said it, I forget who: 90% of life is just showing up

#14I challenge each and every one of you to make a pie by the end of the month.
I made one, for the first time in my life, last week. It brought me tremendous joy not only to make it, but to have something nice to share with friends.

I already did for October, November (twice), and December. Does that count?

I am hearing rumors that B2B sales is rebounding back to more in-person meetings. Cold emails don't work anymore. I've heard similar tales of current teens early-twenties that there is a trend of doing things in real life again. But... more likely if you start measuring it people are more reclusive than ever, and doing things that used to be normal is now considered "niche and trendy". Our sales process at least is very online-meeting oriented...

The best form of exercise is the one you can consistently stick with.
For me, that got shot down in flames over the winter because I kept getting sick. :/

#18I started practising guitar every day and it didn't change my life but I have a lot of fun doing it.
