Plans for 2020

The first post of 2020! Wow we did it my friends, another year another set of goals. I thought I would write my first post this year about what goals I have for this year when it comes to gaming and just life in general.

I have decided to organize the post into 3 different sections: Stop Doing, Start Doing and Continue Doing.

I don’t know if those need to be explained, but hopefully once I start going through the list it becomes clear what I mean.

Stop Doing:

1. I will stop playing EvE
2. I will stop spending money on games I am never going to play

Start Doing:

1. I will try to stream at least twice a week every week for a year
2. I will try to read at least one book a month
3. I will start working on the online classes I bought
4. I would like to find an MMO I want to play long term
5. I want to play through all of my Steam library at least once

Continue Doing:

1. Continue writing once a week for the blog
2. Continue playing video games
   1. World of Tanks
   2. Pokemon Sword
   3. JRPGs
3. Continue pondering on whether I should write a book or not

Some of those don’t relate to gaming so much, but I still think it’s important to list those somewhere. 

Other things I want to do is keep working out and keep my weight under control. I recently have gotten into chess and had a goal of getting to 1300 rating on lichess.org. This year I would like to continue to improve my chess skills and get to 1600 this year. 

Another big one for me and not gaming related is I would like to at some point visit my country of birth, I haven’t been there in 22 years. There are some hurdles to overcome to get that done, so I am taking it slowly to do that.

Ultimately I think I found a pretty good balance of life and hobbies. So we will see how this year will turn out.

Hope it brings joy to all of us and sorrow passes us by.
