Practice Yoga (read all 2 entries…)
Don't do this using DVDs

I HIGHLY recommend you invest $10-$15 dollars on session. I tried this by myself but it isn’t motivating enough… Wish I had more friends that were into this. Will probably go next week.

Play golf every week (read all 2 entries…)
Went to driver range for the first time this year

Didn’t do to bad considering that I haven’t played in years. I’ve got a really cheap and high quality golf club set at a sporting store. Out of 102 ball only about 10% reached 150 yards or more. Many balls sliced to right.



learn 2000 kanji (read all 4 entries…)
I've just begun

I’ve read that it takes several years to accomplish this task, but that the main thing is to practice them daily in order not to forget them. I will learn 20-40 per week, in two years I will know them and then for the reminder of time I could practice them.



create a list of 100 must-read books and read them.
First step: German Literature

For this I’ll need to do some research and find out what are the best recommendations.
