The graphics were from Fable, StoryGraph and Strava. For tracking movies and TV shows, I just use the free version of Trakt.
Looking at this, the year revolved around work, my kid and surprisingly, fitness activities. It was great to see that I managed to spend more time reading and doing physical activities. I guess tracking really helps with this kind of stuff.
I was also surprised to see that I watched 20 movies during the year. An average of 1-point-something movie per month! That’s a lot for me, who juggles time between raising a kid and working, and reading, running, cycling, and before I forget, raising a kid.
So.. maybe 2024 turned out just fine.
