Priority #1: Relationships

  • There's a common thread that I've noticed in all the self-improvement books that have crossed my path. The books always state (in one way or another) that relationships are the key to happiness and a meaningful life. It makes sense - we're social creatures that evolved in close-knit tribes. Our survival depended on the relationships we forged. So with that in mind, I have made relationships my number one priority. I'm mostly focusing on my family, a few close friends, and the small communities in which I inhabit.
  • Also, after reading Die With Zero, I put a higher priority on trips & adventures with family and friends. It's probably one of the best things I have ever decided to do.

  • Priority #2: Health & Exercise

  • Training for the Vancouver Marathon on May 4, 2025
  • Also have Footstock(10k), the Banff Half Marathon, the Canmore Half Marathon, Moose Mountain 42k, and the Whitefish 50k in the schedule.
  • Playing rec hockey 1-2 times per month.
  • Basic strength training a couple times a week.
  • Streak runner: days.

  • Priority #3: Coding

  • Working on this site.
  • Helping friends with personal sites like this one.
  • Continuing my study of web development with The Odin Project.

  • Priority #4: Maintenance

  • Regularly spending time to maintain our assets. This includes our house, vehicles, and finances. But it also includes seeing the doctor, massage therapist, etc. It's a very unsexy part of life, but it's so necessary and important.

  • Priority #5: Toastmasters

  • Serving as the treasurer for Valley Echo Toastmasters.

  • Priority #6: A few simple habits

  • Reading: Currently on Scars and Stripes, The Company, and On writing well.
  • Diet: Aiming for a minimum intake of 3000ml of water and 3000 "healthy" calories to maintain my weight of 165lbs.
  • Sleep: Aiming for 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Trying to get to bed by 930pm at the latest.
