Building Foundations - Doing things differently in 2024 - Foundations

23 Dec, 2023

For 2024 my  theme is going to be 'foundations'

I want to lay the foundations of a better me. I know I need to get healthier (sooner rather than later!) and therefore these are the things I want to focus on next year to get me closer to my goals.

Move More 🚶‍♂️

Working from home is a blessing. However it can also mean I don't leave the house for days at a time. I need to find reasons to get out more.

Moving more could just be a walk around the block, it might be active exercise, or it might be going and seeing a National Trust property with the wife.

By the end of the year, my average metric in Apple Health should all show a postive trend. It doesn't matter if they are small, just that the trend is postive.

Commit More 🎭

I found a local board game group a few months ago who were super inclusive and I had a lot of fun playing with. Then I never went back. I was too 'busy' or 'tired'. 🤨

In 2024, I should commit to more activities and events to help me get out, meet new people, and move more. (See point 1 👀)

Enjoy my time more ⌚

I want to read more books, play more games, and spend more quality time with my loved ones. I think it means limiting doom scrolling opportunities.. Instead of scrolling through discord, mastodon, and the news mindlessly I should pick up my e-reader, go for a walk (See point 1 👀), or play a board game with my wife.

In 2024 I want to read more books, and complete more games than I did in 2023 (It's a pretty low bar!) and I want to spend less time on things that quite literally have no impact on me and my life (Hi, Discord Drama.)
