Popular Post DakotaHale Posted January 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2022 More trolling Start getting 6 hours of sleep a night Bench my body weight Start boxing again Start playing chess again Get within 5lbs of pre-covid weight (I am 23lbs heavier than I was Jan. 2020) Hit financial goals for the year (add $6k to Roth IRA, $8k to Roth 401k, $1k to crypto, $10k to brokerage/real estate), and then blow the rest on whatever. Move out? (I'm building a tiny home that will hopefully be done late Spring) Buy a coffee machine and start getting into coffee (seems like a wholesome hobby to get into and the community is nice enough) Rebuild cigar collection. I went from having 300 cigars to ~25, haven't bought a cigar in over a year, though I have cut down my cigar intake from 1 a day to 2 a week so it's not that urgent (not for health reasons but for lack of time, when I retire I'm 100% going to go up to 10 a day if possible). Try to have the Pontiac survive another year. I drive a piece of shit car and I'm proud. Too cheap to buy a new one, I will drive it until the wheels fall off (which almost happened once). Go on some sort of solo vacation. Thinking Colorado maybe. Take a cooking class? Get promotion at work All I can think of right now 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcczar Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 For me: Finish AMPU completely and error-free by the November 2022 deadline. Floss regularly. Do things to lower my blood pressure. Be "more present" when I'm not working. I'm kind of spaced out when I should be interacting more. Observe Midterms turning to Democrats favor Do a lot more writing I can't think of much else to do. If COVID weren't a thing, I'd probably add a lot of places to visit or do around Philadelphia. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pringles Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) - Limit my sleep needs to only 6 hours a night. - Continue investing into crypto, and begin investing into potentially an index fund or roth IRA - Get a better paying job. - Hit the gym more often. - Buy a Jaguar or another sports car around 10-15k should I have the money to do so and sell my current car. 😛 - Crank up the daily dosage of meme intake. - Play games with friends. - See the Republicans take back the House and send a message to Biden after a disastrous first year. 😛 - Continue to do well in school. Finished this semester with 3 A's and 1 B. Hopefully I can try to maintain that or get all A's. - Watch more movies and maybe binge all the James Bond movies again with friends. - Observe the teachings of Kevin O'Leary more often. 😛 Edited January 2, 2022 by Pringles 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPotatoTed Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Walk 10k steps per day. I used to do this every day, and felt so much better...but now that I work from home, I only get like 2k per day and it's been terrible for my physical fitness. Sell our house. Buy a new house and move to Pittsburgh. Spend (and get my wife and daughter to spend) 45 minutes a day doing chores together. Stop drinking caffeine before 11 AM and after 8 PM. Spend more quality time with my daughter. She's 8 now -- dangerously close to being too cool to want to hang out with dad. Got to prioritize that time while it's still available. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When deciding law schools I could have shot for alot of places, But with my networking in Pittsburgh, my partner having a job lined up at the PNC HQ, and mostly the city itself- I didn't want to be anywhere else.

Smart watch for heartbeat and vitals, microphone to track breathing, snoring, sleep talking etc. (this can be disabled if you want). But I always thought it was fun. I sleep talk a lot and it’s interesting hearing what I say. App is called sleep cycle. I think it’s only iPhone though unfortunately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPotatoTed Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I usually drink gallons of Coke every day (yes, literally). Gave it up entirely. The headaches from caffeine withdrawal are manageable...but I'm so TIRED now all of the time. I work from home until 430 every day, but I fall asleep at 3 PM now. Ha. I don't drink Coffee, so Coke was my "get moving" juice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themiddlepolitical Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Just now, DakotaHale said: Black? 4 of those cups come in a form of a large panera iced coffee daily, 2 sugar, 2 cream (so tastes almost black but alittle sweet cause of volume) the last 2 would be hot black. Panera has $8 a month unlimited coffee, it’s a steal. I get it on the daily, sometimes twice a day. I averaged it out and that $8 gets me $135 of coffee a month. The hot coffee i’ll do the whole manual process (beans, ground etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I’m apparently just orange juice and water. It’s a struggle. But worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to get my coffee at Tim Horton's or McDonald's (the latter having their coffee as being the only palatable thing left on their menu). I can be flexible for certain other places, but I utterly refuse to drink Starbuck's, even if someone else is paying. I've had Tim Hortons, I'd consider it very closely to that. Though I think Tim Hortons food is superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Patine, but I don’t go to Starbucks because my ex-fiancée worked at a Starbucks when we were together. She always smelled like Starbucks, which was fine at the time — but now that we split (almost 15 years ago), Starbucks smells like her and I don’t like it.

Plus, I detest how they insist on knowing your first name to put on the cup. All three of those are based reasons and I agree 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
