Strength Training. In 2014, I exercised 113 times.

In 2015, I increased that number to

122 workouts, which is an average of 10.2 per month. Considering everything else I
crammed into this year, I feel good about that number. 
Workouts per month in 2015:

 January – 14

 February – 12

 March – 9

 April – 12

 May – 8

 June – 13

 July – 12

 August – 12

 September – 10

 October – 7

 November – 6

 December – 7
My best lifts of the year were:

 Back Squat – 350 lbs (158 kg) for 4 sets of 4 reps

 Bench Press – 295 lbs (133 kg) for 2 reps

 Deadlift – 495 lbs (224 kg) for 1 rep

Travel. I visited 5 countries and 11 states in 2015. I squeezed in a few visits to
Washington D.C. as well. I also wrote an article about my Ultralight Packing List, which
was a surprising hit.

Travel highlights for 2015:

 5 countries (2 new): England, Hungary, Iceland, Portugal, United States.

  11 states (3 new): Arkansas, California, Georgia (twice), Hawaii, Idaho, New York (twice),
North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee (twice), Texas, Virginia.
Photography. There is still a big gap between my photographic vision and my actual
results, but for the first time in awhile I feel like my photography skills are improving.
The main improvement I made this year was becoming better at researching photo
locations and subjects ahead of time. I think this research helped me publish better
photos and hit 10,000 Instagram followers in 2015. World-class photographers don't
take photos, they make photos with diligent research and practice. I'm not a world-class
photographer, but I'm trying to act like one.

Reading. I read 36 books in 2015, which is more than I have in any previous year.
Some of my favorites were A Brief History of Time, Fooled by Randomness, Into Thin
Air, Just Mercy, Manual For Living, Red Notice, and The Martian. I also published
my reading list and began keeping detailed book summaries of many nonfiction books.
