In terms of reading, writing, and drawing, I've found that I can be more "productive" if I don't try to power through things I hate. Life is too short for that sort of nonsense anyway.
Next year I'm also going to keep track of the games I beat. I do this thing where I get all the way to the final boss and am like, "Eh, he's not hurting anyone, why not leave him be and do some sidequests instead," and then of course I never pick up the game again. It's not 1998 anymore, and it no longer makes any sense to be a completionist. I should just play what I buy all the way through and stop feeling guilty about "unfinished" video games.
