Drawing (I need to practice more though, my shading sucks!)
Reading (Just finished A Clash Of Kings in the Song of Ice and Fire series a.k.a Games of Thrones)
Working out (Haven't worked out in 3 weeks because of laziness and the holidays but it's back to the routine next week)

One mistake that is very common is that many people use very light shades of grey which only blends into an even lighter shade of gray. I don't know if you do that, but a tip when shading is to make sure that the darkest areas are really dark (like near-black), and the lightest areas are left completely white. (if you're not drawing in colour) And then have the shading smoothly blend from the darkest to lightest where the there aren't hard edges.

I think my problem lies with making the shading gradual. Instead of a smooth progression from very light to dark, I usually get visible demarcations between the grades.
