It's important to have a game plan to keep a guy on course. So, here's my plan for the new year.
[1] Read Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Is a lengthy one at 900+ pages, but writing it down here will tilt the table toward completion. Plus the following two classics. It's easy to drag one's feet and avoid these oldies, but I'll knock them off in 2023.
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy.
[2] Self-publish Magglio Cervantes a novel. This will entail the figuring out of Kindle's self-publishing feature. So here goes.
E-Book in Q2.
Audio book in Q3.
Physical book in Q4.
[3] With the goal of staying healthy in these advanced years [heck, I'm 55], here's a medical checklist for the year:
Blood test,
Colonoscopy,
Physical,
Prostate check,
Dermatologist to check for troublesome sun exposure on my balding skull,
And the recently achey back, unless it self-fixes in the near future.
[4] Research non-profits, part-time paying jobs and volunteerism. This will be a retirement prelude. The goal is to stay productive in retirement instead of turning every day into a weekend.
[5] With an eyeball on retirement, compile list of 30 things where deferral will no longer be a viable option.
[6] And a fun retirement list, 100 things I'd like to do once I'm there.
[7] Scrub old Mac laptop and discard.
