My theme for 2022: Health.

This year’s theme is simple: I’m going to get healthy. I’ve got other things I need to do, obviously. In 2022, I still want to write more, both for this blog and for school. I’ve got some ideas for typeface designs. And I’ll be taking at least four more Ph.D. classes. It’ll be a busy year, but health will be at the core.

I’m going to weave being healthy through everything I do. Taking the stairs when I can. Walking to class instead of driving. Bringing a healthy lunch to work instead of going out. Reducing my caffeine intake. Get up to date on checkups and preventive screenings. Trying to get regular exercise, even if it’s just a lunchtime walk.
