After reading a YC post on passion, I decided to delve deep into other posts on the topic (also ventured into regrets of people in their 20s). I summarized a few that seem reasonable and doable to me.

  • Running
  • Cycling on e-bike
  • Get in shape & stay there
  • Visit dentist regularly
  • Wear sunscreen

  • Computing
  • Algorithms (NP-Hard)
  • Coding for game FF7

Learning

  • Learning about my own mind and how to tame it.
  • Maths (3d game programming)
  • Singing Lessons
  • Finance & Start investing
  • Pursuit of understanding everything
  • Work on making own money instead of exchanging time for money

Creating

  • Building a real house, coding a game
  • Building a random notes taking app
  • Writing a sci-fi novel.
  • Building a company to help people save time.
  • Flying & Woodworking
  • Gaming (WoW, lua scripts)

  • Watching TV Series
  • Taking it easy by going home (socializing, watching series, arts, music, books)
  • Doing things that would make his dad (passed) proud.
