Deriving joy from learning and creating. Nurturing optimal health, tight family bonds, and freedom. On a subtropical island in Macaronesia.

To determine progress in #health, measure input daily and output yearly.

To determine progress in #wealth, measure input yearly and output monthly.

To determine progress in #relationships, measure input weekly and output quarterly.

The mind-body connection is fascinating! While the “one and zero”-analogy helps in approaching the topic, it neglects nuances of human nature that code doesn’t display. If the “human source code” were as simple as computer code to read and fix, we would become a different species. I understand this as the goal of transhumanism. As we aren’t there yet, it is a reductionist view.

I’m at a hospital courtyard to enjoy the fresh air while waiting. The only other people outside are smokers. Everyone else sits inside. Our societal standards for #health are rock bottom.

Making people go through duty free stores at airports is cruel. This should be opt-in!

My ambitious Goals for 2025:

HEALTH

- Attempt to sleep before 23:00 on ≥350 days

- Exercise on ≥312 days

- Eat last meal before 19:00 on ≥312 days

FAMILY

- Spend ≥52 days with family

- Attend fortnightly therapy sessions (until termination)

- Complete Mark Manson’s courses on Healthy Relationships, Emotional Mastery, Social Connection, Challenging Beliefs, and Resilience

FREEDOM

- Earn ≥30,000$

- Invest ≥10,000$

- Pay back 100% of my debt

LEARNING

- Complete MDS’s course Shift Nudge on Interface Design

- Complete Pieter Levels’s Make book on Independent Entrepreneurship

- Complete Marc Lou’s course CodeFast on Coding for Entrepreneurs

CREATION

- Launch ≥4 products

- Send ≥12 newsletters

- Send ≥150 posts on X or Nostr

- Host ≥8 meetups

- Release ≥6 podcast episodes

I will post monthly updates on my goal progress in my newsletter. Oh, and Happy New Year!

Exactly. For private use it would be fine for me, but for work I rely on software that’s unfortunately not supported on Linux.

Ideally, I would deeply understand how computers work and be able to run Linux confidently. It’s a trade-off I’m not willing to make yet.

I often find that showing up consistently is the third step!

Hello from Macaronesia!

Some of my interests include design, health and longevity, philosophy and psychology, science, autonomy, and freedom. Excited to explore Nostr!
