Similar. I am too old to wait for New Year's to make a resolution. I have been drifting towards some good changes including reading more and spending my time more mindfully. I did just repaint three rooms during "staycation" and made some good progress researching a trip I plan on in October.
Sounds productive haha. I do want to read more too.
Where do you plan on going?
I think for reading, I had to find things that interest me, and a lot of things that used to, don't in the same way - I think because I have learned aboit them already. So I have been opening up new subjects and it's been good.
Actually DrBohr and I are planning to go to Bhutan! A long-delayed honeymoon. I think we plan on half trekking the Himalayas and half doing cultural experiences.
I agree about the reading. Also I think because one of my interests is technical books, like books on programming languages etc, because the information is easily available online and when I'm coding it makes sense to access it through the internet, it leads to me not reading a substantial portion of my bookshelf. I do have others though that I am making an effort to read. Currently trying to make my way through 1984 by Orwell :)
Also, the trip sounds like a lot of fun! Enjoy :)
