Mine are mostly centered around simplifying to remove distractions and diversifying my skillset:
1. Purge/sell off some of the technology I accumulated over the pandemic when I was stuck at home as much. Do I really need both a gaming console and a high powered graphics card? I barely have time for playing games on one platform let alone multiple.
2. Become fairly well versed in a second public cloud provider (in addition to AWS).
3. Remove Windows from my life. I don't use any software that requires Windows in either a professional or personal setting, and the only thing that has kept me there for a while is gaming (which may not be a thing after number 1 on this list). I already use a M1 MBP as a laptop, but my desktop could be switched over to a Linux distro to better immerse me in that world. I spend most of my day building stuff in cloud environments where Windows is a complete afterthought.
4. Get proficient at a second language/runtime (in addition to Python). I spent the pandemic trying out lots of different languages and runtimes, exploring frameworks, building small things, and the time has come to stick with one and be able to use it when I need to for work. Leaning towards Go currently but haven't made up my mind.
