No stuff not in the way to think about. Everything I needed and nothing more.

Re: Black Mirror Bandersnatch: If this is a test, I’m pretty sure I failed. Watched 12/30/18. I settled in for a 50ish minute chill out. (I don’t do much passive TV watching.

Docs Trello Board Google Sheets Writing Calendar Google Docs notepad Game Journal Games Buy no new games (this is going to be a hard one, but I probably spent more in 2018 on games alone than in any other year, between our new Switch, PS4 sales, Humble Bundles, and Steam sales). Play entire collection of unplayed Steam games (at least one session each, finishing them is not required).
