      Here's what I've got so far: 1. watch a movie or read a book 2. be in one place for 120 days (not necessarily contiguous) 3. run 1000km over the course of the year 4. only visit cafés which are independent Refinements or criticism of these are welcome!

      But I need six more. I'd like suggestions which help me keep a healthy lifestyle/diet, and I'd like them to include things I enjoy, like learning languages and hiking. I like measurable things; watching my progress towards a goal is encouraging! And strict definitions are useful.

      I'd like to ban "processed foods" from my diet but I don't have a good definition of "processed" allowing me to rule out the sort of "food" you find in a US gas station (long trips; bad planning; desperate measures!) while still letting me to eat, say, Wensleydale. Ideas, anyone?

      I would also like to improve my French, German and Polish. My best idea was to aim for a certain vocabulary size (which I could measure with Anki). I thought a target of 2500 French words, 1000 German words and 500 Polish words would be a reasonable target. Any better ideas?

      Wildcard suggestions are good, too! Last year someone suggested meditation, which I hated and was one of my failures. But I liked the suggestion, and I'm willing to try most things, though they do have to fit in with my itinerant lifestyle. Looking forward to the suggestions.

      What about micro mastering a skill a month. This book was recommended to me, and I'm considering 1 a month for next year: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Micromastery-Little-Skills-Help-Happiness/dp/0241280044/ …

      That's a nice idea, but actually the example of perfecting a soufflé inspired another more specific idea: I could perfect a new recipe every month... I always enjoyed cooking, but never devote time to it these days... which makes this exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for!

      I taught myself how to poach eggs efficiently a few years ago ... it has made my life significantly better.

      Efficiently... in which variable? I'd like to get number of eggs required per poached egg closer to 1. :D

          I can comfortably poach four eggs simultaneously in a single (large) pan, which makes getting multiple plates onto the breakfast table a relatively relaxed process.
