Happy New Year!

Welcoming 2026, here is what I plan to focus on in the months ahead. The key themes are simplification, lightness or reduction, and relying less on third-party software and services.

• Develop products and productised services to complement my consulting work. Simplify the offering - it feels like I've overcomplicated things. Business goals is a separate post...
• Reduce reliance on hosted services. Default to self-hosted, open-source, and plain-text-first software. See uses for progress, and my current #appdefaults.
• Similarly, simplify the technology I use. Fewer gadgets. Fewer "smart" devices. Fewer apps. Fewer payments.
• Travel more, more lightly.
• Continue to work on strength training, diet, and reducing BF%.
• Read more books. Currently I am tracking books to read, those in progress, and books finished in an Obsidian note.
• Keep walking, and walk more.
• As ever - publish a bit more content here!

See now for an updating list of what I'm focussing on throughout the year.
