What I’m doing now

Updated February 27, 2025.

Reading

Currently reading It Beings with You by Jillian Turecki. These are all the books I read in 2024.

Top 100 of 2024

I created a list of the Top 100 Things That Made My Year for 2024.

Working Out with The Pump App

Arnold has his own fitness app, The Pump. I signed up for a membership half a year ago and have been following the workout program to great results. Keep going.

Walking 8K Steps Every Day

10K steps makes it feel like too much of my day was focused on walking. 8K feels like the sweet spot for me.

Playing Pickleball

On the best weeks, I make it to the courts three times.

Noting my Dreams

I write my dreams down every morning. I’m continuously surprised by the cast and themes. If I don’t write down my dreams immediately upon awakening, I forget them before I make it a few steps from my bed.

Writing Every Day

Every day I write. My writing takes a few different forms:

• In the mornings, I write what Julia Cameron calls Morning Pages. That’s a free write that fills up three pages.
• In the evenings, I fill up two pages in my diary with my brush pen. Here’s an example of the best books I read in 2023. I draw cartoons, make diagrams, copy quotes, write poems and anything else that stirs me.
• I write the events of the day in my One Line before bed.
• I post something on my X account every day-ish.

Hiking

Most of my Sundays include a hike. The trail I visit the most is 8.6 miles.
