One of my goals this year is to have more novelty in my life. This is not a response to life being boring or routine as it is (I actually really like routine), but more that life is short and there are so many things out there to experience.

Could be trying a new type of coffee at a new shop rather than cold brew at the same old haunts. Or doing some writing or art instead of video games every night. Or learning a new skill.

I'm aiming for 100 novel things in 2024 which averages to about 2 per week. Very doable. Ideally, the novel things should be one of the following:

  • A completely new experience.
  • Something familiar but in a very novel way.
  • Something I haven't done for a very long time (at least 5 years) with some twist to it.


I will post these as they come.
