⏳ Now

What I'm actually focused on at the moment — the honest, current snapshot. Inspired by nownownow.com. Last updated: July 2026.

💰 Money

Rebalancing back to the 80/20 target after a strong first half — selling winners feels wrong, doing it anyway.
Maxing the kids' 529 contributions before the state tax deadline sneaks up.
Experimenting with a "fun money" bucket so the budget stops arguing with the gaming backlog.

✈️ Travel

Planning the autumn Kyoto trip — currently deep in the points-and-miles spreadsheet vortex.
Teaching the kids to pack their own carry-ons. Success rate: 60%, socks forgotten: 100%.

🎮 Play

Working through the Stardew Valley 1.6 update with the kids — the farm is now better managed than my inbox.
Training for the family Mario Kart championship. Two years without a win. This is my year.
Reading Four Thousand Weeks for the second time, slower on purpose.

🏡 Life

Coaching the youngest's soccer team — my most chaotic and rewarding "investment" this quarter.
Building this very website. If you can read this, the deploy worked. 🎉
Saying yes to more random Tuesday adventures. That's the whole point of the plan, after all.
