This is the inverse of my recent post about stuff I’d like to dump in 2026. It is inspired by Jon’s blog where he added an invest list under his own to dump list.

I suppose they are a bit like new year resolutions, but framing in terms of spending more time rather than something I could ‘tick off’ feels like a longer term aspiration and therefore more likely to happen (in my head anyway).

• watching more cinema
• learn how AI might be useful to me
• books, especially the classics I never read
• getting an exercise habit
• visit more new places to eat, Bristol is nearby as has some great options.
• investigate keeping some bees in the garden
• planting some vegetables and perhaps a flowering meadow
