      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 saw tango, painting a door and growing chilis on the list mentioned in some reviews. Were there any other highlights for you?

      mastering a new dish to cook a month would be super useful though, right? a new card/magic trick a month.. yeah, it's more a seed for ideas than actual concrete items imho.. Good Luck Jon!

      Thanks! Maybe I'll have a new vacancy in my life for magic once implicits are deprecated in Scala 3.
