OT:
1) Find the time to finish writing one of my partially finished books. My ADHD kicks in and I cant seem to finish any one of them.
2) Turn my old cellphone into a remote detonation device(for fireworks.)
3) Start working out on a consistent schedule.

I tend to like sci fi, so if thats your thing most of these books will work. I can recommend you some more that I have actually read, when I have more time later if you'd like.
One I would most definitely recommend off the top of my head that I have read two or three times now would be Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler. It is in my estimation one of the best books ever written, and we actually used it as required reading for a history of the USSR course I took. It is essentially about a man who is thrown into a Gulag and is broken down slowly and forced to confess to things he never did. The imagery and the writing is so compact and beautiful. It has no wasted space, very short and good.
