I wrote last week about my travel, 23 trips in 2022. However, I’ve been gathering some other stats about my life and what I do, so I wanted to share a few of them here.

Music

I mostly listen to music on Spotify these days. One thing I loved are the Spotify wrapped updates at the end of the year. For 2022, I had these stats:

• 30135 minutes
• 1440 artists
• 68 genres
• 2946 songs
• Top Songs: Slide by H.E.R. with Pop Smoke, Hip Hop by Mos Def, Ms. Fat Booty by Mos Def, Hard Place by H.E.R., Into You by Fabulous
• Top Artists: Kanye, John Mayer, Jay-Z, Tupac Shakur, Kenny Chesney

Writing and Speaking

It’s my job. A few stats:

• Editorials written – 151
• Coping Tips – 257
• Speaking sessions delivered: 34 talks
• Events: 19 events
• Blog views – 74,000+
• Visitors: 55k+

Workouts

Taking care of my health is important to me. I’ve always exercised regularly, and at one point I ran every day of the year for a few years. I’ve relaxed a bit, and settled into more of a routine. I miss a few days and I don’t stress about it, but I make my best effort to work by body a bit most days.

Stats from 2022. I might have missed some, but these are the gross totals. This adds up to more than 365 since I do two things some days. A lot of weight days have cycline or walking or something as a warm-up

• Yoga: 89
• Cycling (indoor and outdoor): 84
• Weights 63
• Walking 22
• Elliptical: 22
• Swimming: 14
• Cardio classes: 2
• Rowing: 2

Total workout days: 232

The total days is low for me, 232, which is 63% of the year. My aim is 75% of the days, but I had ankle surgery this year, which threw me off for a month, and I spent way too much time on the road with travel and missed working out some of those days.

Driving

I don’t know exactly how much I drove, but the Tesla give me some stats and I’ve been tracking a few. For the Tesla,  show about 17k miles this year, which is mostly me. For all the times my wife might drive (or the kids), likely I put miles on the X5 or Suburban (or a few in the Ram 3500), so this is not a bad set of mileage for me.

I also got to drive in two countries and a few states. Rough stats:

• Miles driven 17,000
• Countries: 2 (US and Portugal)
• States: 5 (Colorado, New York, California, Florida, Nevada)
• Top driving locations from the Tesla: Lifetime Fitness (135), Safeway (98), and a local gas station (89). Yes, I have a diet soda addiction.

Reading

I spend a lot of time reading books. They are an escape for me from life, and a way to improve myself. In 2022, I finished

• 101 books
• 35000+ pages
• Avg. screen time on Kindle app for Dec: 10 hours/week
