"Think of things I do and use on a day-to-day basis: How do these things improve my quality of life?"

I am really happy with the "to do list" manager i have built with Airtable. I remember variations of to do lists i've maintained over the years. One of the challenges was maintaining the list, including adding on regular tasks and reminders. I've been able to use the "low code" programming with Airtable to be able to automate reminders for every N days, specific days of the week, and every day. I just add the reminders to the table of "chores" and they show up the next day or a year from now.And then they show up again. I would love to switch some things to a "N days after finishing" function, but the friction of tweaking when i take forever to get around to something is still pretty low.

It's not a resolution, per se, but with declaring some levels of "bankruptcy" with my life and paying more attention to having enough energy to close out my day, i'm having a smoother time.

My new Linux mini PC arrived last night and we did have sufficient MDI cables for me to hook up a gadget i bought last spring as monitor, keyboard, and mouse to get started with Ubuntu. I'm almost at having the ability to remote into a desktop, but it's possible that i can make do with just ssh into it. Ha, i bet Emacs will work smoothly on it! I quit using Emacs on the mac after some level of permissions lock down meant i'd have to compile it to get it to work, which i couldn't justify for my employment: i switched to visual studio code.
