Remember to forget me!
As documented in another thread, I got my tobacco cellar "finished" last year. I felt like I'd achieved something there, and have considered what I want to achieve this year.
"Finish" the pipe array
I have enough pipes, and when the postie has done her job this week, I'll have too many. The challenge though, was getting the "correct" pipes. I'm sure there'll be more trial and error, but I want the pipe drawer full of the "right" pipes by the end of the year. If I can get the same level of achievement with the pipe drawer, as I did with the ageing stash, that's a big win.
Behave!
Don't buy more tobacco unless I need to. Or pipes. Or anything else. Leave all currently owned tobaccos accessible, so I can look at how much I bought, and facepalm regularly. If I do buy any tobacco, buy LESS than a year's consumption... which means...
Monitor usage
I totally lost track with all the tobacco samples as to how much I smoked last year. As the next few year's leaf is all bagged in sample sized pouches, I am currently well prepared for ending 2022 just as clueless as I ended 2021. I do need to at least try to keep track of what I smoke, so I can get a rough idea how long the mountain might last.
Buy in person where possible
Strive for a maximum of one online purchase a month. Pipe stuff, shaving stuff, clothes, anything. If there's something needed, get of your arse and go fetch it. And pay in cash. Lower the digital footprint, dodge the data harvesters, move more, spend less.
Smoke outside more
Like, not in the garden either. Head for the park, or some other quiet spot. Canal, hill top, anywhere. In fact go and discover new smoking spots. Find at least five favourite smoking spots by the end of 2022.
So there we go. That's the five things I'm going to fail miserably at this year
Anyone else?
