Hello, I’m Tony.

​

Ten years ago I turned forty. Now, at fifty, I’m choosing the habits that really matter, to become the person I want to be at sixty.

​

I’m not an expert. I have a demanding job, a family and a calendar that’s already full . What I also have is a list of things I’d like to be better at, plus a lot of good intentions, which on their own don’t count for much.

​

Forty Fifty Sixty is a record of the attempt.

​

It works the same way every time:

• Small Habits that fit a busy week.

• Big Milestones I am building towards, like an actual conversation in a foreign language that lasts longer than 30 seconds, or a hike in Switzerland.

• Review every quarter so can I look at what worked and what didn’t, and keep, change or drop it.

​

I write about what I’m actually doing. That means learning French, working through the albums I want to include in my top 100 of all time, learning to surf for a few weeks every summer, looking after myself a bit better, and taking trips that fit around real life.

I’ll tell you what worked and what didn’t.
