Quality time

**My wife Milly has recently started looking for a job after being home with Martin for a couple of months. We put up a simple website to show off her background and skills. It's written in NextJS with TailwindCSS and is as simple as one can imagine.**

Online resume for my wife

**As 2022 comes to and end I figured I can spend a little time reflecting back and looking forward for what is ahead.**

## Learnings from last year

- Time is limited and valuable. I have learned to minimize time wasted on scrolling social media or doing stuff I don't like.
- Avoid trying to multitask. I don't think true multitasking exists, just rapid context switching. And it is way more energy-draining and inefficient than focusing fully on one thing at a time.
- Take breaks. Long stretches of time on front of the screen destroys the body.

## Goals for next year

- Spend as much time as possible with my son. My plan is to be on 75% parental leave until Martin goes off to pre-school, and I want to maximize that time together.
- Create something every day. Write, photo or coding.
- Stretch goal: Post it online.
- Read more real books. My plan is to always have one book in progress, and to write down some notes and reflections here while reading it.
- Reflect more instead of just maximizing information intake.
- Exercise daily. Preferably a visit to the gym or running in the forest.
- Take more photos with the real camera. As I written about earlier, I want to let go of my phone and using the DSLR instead gives me less opportunities for distractions. And way better photos.
