- ✔ Designate a book notebook (small, black) and in it write: Title, Date Finished, Meaningful or Not, Key Themes and Metaphors, What It Made Me Think About (Questions That It Raises).
- Make real efforts to improve my Japanese. [DOABLE]
- Read short Japanese novels (not anything that I've read in English before, because I'll get bored, and not while also reading an English book, because I won't read it very carefully).
- Create a notebook on 敬語, on writing Japanese emails, on the grammatical/stylistic differences between English and Japanese and how these shape the way the languages are understood.
- Create artwork based on the play counts of songs on music players--analyze for themes, symbols, allusions, dualities, and somehow express that in distinct works of art.
- Buy world map and put Post-Its on it detailing the setting and time period of the books I read. [IN MOTION]
- Take a picture every month of Inogashira-Koen, or maybe the walk to ICU, and get it developed at the end of the year. Take notes of how I felt at the time so I can write them on the back when they're developed.
- Create a reading algorithm (when in a rut) by Google or Amazon-searching "book _ [first word on page 69 of the previous book]." Or, search for a book with the same character name that I come across in the first page I randomly open.
- Engage in a Soylent fast for a whole month, record observations and how my habits come to change.
