Inspired by Derek Sivers now page, here’s what I am doing right now (last update October 2025):
- Building and iterating on my Lego sorting project.
- Reading. One goal is to read all Dune novels. After I have finished the current books I am reading, I will start on the Great Schools trilogy.
- Learning Japanese, 10 minutes a day. I wasn’t able to make as much progress as I wanted. The goal this year is to keep working on it every day and hopefully read a few Yotsuba&! mangas.
- My current videogame rotation: I am mostly playing Blue Prince right now. If you like games such as Myst, you’ll love this one.
- New for this year: I took up golf. Progress is slow, but it is a nice to be outside, even on bad weather days.
What I’m not doing right now:
- I have put my latest side-project on the backburner for now. I am giving my brain some time to process its current state and consider the next steps.
- Making music. I’d really love to fit in more music-time in my schedule, but it is a very time-consuming hobby, so it is hard to get started.
- Organizing my music collection using the awesome Beets. I’ve found a few options to integrate it with Home Assistant and thus indirectly with Google Home.
- Improving my Home Assistant setup. I have many ideas, but there’s just too much to do.
