If, so, what can i do to accomplish this goal? Of course, nobody is perfect and there is always room for improvement. For the average person, it shouldn't be that hard to come up with a laundry list of things to change, or new things to try. Apart from obvious (at least for the average slashdotter) and mundane quests you can set yourself every year, like escaping mothers basement, learning a new programming language or trying to take over the world — what can you do to really make a difference regarding the quality of your life?
After working fulltime for several years i have sold my terrible excuse of a car, bought a nice apartment and reduced my (sysadmin) working hours to 22 per week. This leaves me plenty of time to visit the gym regularily, ride the bike on sunny days, attend karate lessons once every week or just plain sit on my ass and do nothing. Which is really all i've ever dreamt of. But here is the catch: It becomes boring rather quickly.
Now, what would YOU do or change to allow for a happy, fulfilling and even meaningful life?
