What's something you do now that you wish you started doing sooner?

Playing the guitar - I had so much free time a few years ago, and it pisses me off that I never took advantage of it.
 
Playing piano, digital drawing, reading manga, liking Math.
 
Hula hooping! I wish I had started sooner so that I could be a graceful butterfly now. :(
 
Boxing and just exercising generally. I didn't really start them too late (started when I was 15), but the problem was that I my chronis illness started gettiing really severe shortly afterwards which made it a lot tougher to keep up with these. (since exercising can actually make me flare up) Had I done them sooner I feel I would have been determined enough to keep at them regardless.

Still plan on going back eventually since I'm starting to be more in control of this. Though whenever I try it really irritates the shit out of me. Mind you I'm healthy and able to do light work outs fortunately, but boxing was a hobby I really liked.
 
go out with friends at least once per weekend. Shit, Cat. I was more reclusive this time last year-ish and I'm having a much better time with my friends nowadays so it's great. this is easier once you and your friends can drive.
 
Eat Healthier.
About 2 years ago, I looked like a fat nerd slob, who stayed on the computer 24/7 and watched stupid videos, with a bowl Nutella with me. I was really really fat, and all I thought was -

Thank god I'm healthy and play sports everyday. I'm a whole new person mentally and physically.

Use PC -
That would be near impossible as I started at 11, but you asked me, I told you.
 
Although it's been counter-productive of late, I do wish I'd started seeing doctors for my physical health much earlier. I assume it's going to get better eventually, but if I'd started when I was 15 when I had my first serious physical issues, rather than when I was 23 and approaching a complete physical and mental breakdown, I'd probably be happily in work by now and free of all this crap...
 
Having the self-confidence, self-esteem and ambition while growing up that I have now.
 
I wish I had started talking earlier. Sure, I made small talk with friends, but I was keeping all of my thoughts and feelings bottled up, and it lead to some serious depression. Add in parents that don't listen, and I felt like I had no where to turn. I found a friend to talk to, thankfully, and am doing much better now, but I really should have started talking sooner.

This this this

I also wished I started to revise earlier because man my life would be so much easier right now if I had.
 
I wish I had actually continued to hone my art and writing skills. Now I'm too lazy to lol.

Also, playing the keyboard.
 
It's not really the starting early that's a problem for me, but the "I wish I practised it more" like art/design things as well as the musical instruments I play. I started young, but I don't put as practice as I wish I could have and then I'd be even better than I already am.

Common answers: eat healthy, work out.

I'll be one of those people whose answers include these lifestyle changes. Although I had completely removed meat from my diet 5 years ago, it wasn't until nearly 2 years ago that I began working out actively, getting into shape not only to feel more confident about myself and body, but also play badminton significantly better since footwork is an important part of being able to maneuver around the court. Those changes made life so much better.

Exercise more, learned to code sooner. Gotta admit, I'm envious of those 11-13 bracket kids who learn how to code and make small games and stuff.

In the same boat. Even though I'm currently in an IT program, I had never actually did any programming besides HTML/CSS and that was done as a hobby. Didn't take any computer science courses in high school and that's what inevitably led me to first pursue psychology instead of my passion.
