Priority #1: Relationships

  • I've noticed a common thread running through every self-improvement book I've read: they all emphasize, in one form or another, that relationships are the cornerstone of happiness and a meaningful life. And honestly, it makes a lot of sense. We’re social by nature—we evolved in tight-knit tribes where our survival depended on the people around us. With that in mind, I've made relationships my top priority. I’m putting my energy into my family, a few close friends, and the small communities I’m part of.
  • 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 Banff Half Marathon on June 15, 2025
  • Also have Footstock(10k), the Canmore Half Marathon, Moose Mountain 42k, and the Whitefish 50k on the schedule.
  • Working on Running Every Street in Cochrane by the end on 2025.
  • 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
