I plan on writing another free ebook.
OT, but I love your work. I've learnt a lot of what I know from free resources, which inspired me to start http://hackershelf.com. Just out of curiosity, why do you do it?

#33To accomplish something every day, no matter how small. (365 little things * the probability they'll get done) > (a few big things * the probability they'll get done) I did this in 2012 and am still shocked at how much more I accomplished than in any other year. All those little things + their compound interest turned out to be a bigger result than anything I could have planned. Who knew?
Interesting, do you have any example of what you've done in 2012?

#35Last week I put most of my belongings in storage. I drove my cat & car down to the parents house for the holidays. Jan 1st 2013, I have 0 obligations. My "big plan" for 2013 is to have absolutely no plans. Pretty psyched :)

#36Mechanism: I wrote myself a Google doc with my new year's resolutions and I'm going to set Astrid reminders to review them quarterly (let's say at the end of March, June, September, and in time for 2014's resolutions). I agree with @kator's comment that it's totally arbitrary. Maybe, but it's convenient!
Also I'm sharing it here to make myself feel like I'm obligated to someone. :)
The full doc would be boring to put here, so here is the tl;dr version:
1. Productivity 2. School 3. Fitness
Slightly longer version:
1. Productivity - primary goal: "I will be productive and inspired all the time." Practically, this means wasting less time, doing more personal coding projects, learning new skills, and other things. My first task in this goal is to finish reading and start implementing GTD. A couple of inspiring discussions: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4979938 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4982649
2. School (I am a master's degree student) - primary goal: "I will finish all my course requirements and at least 70% of my thesis research and writing". (The definition of 70% is "feels like 70%".) Secondary goal: "My school time will be much more relaxed and awesome than it is currently, and I'll leave more time for side projects, side work, and personal stuff."
3. Fitness - primary goal: "By the end of 2013 I will be stunningly sexy." Inspiring discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4971196

#37Currently I use OneNote to manage projects and such. I've yet to find a really good cross-platform tool that works as well. Plans for 2013, more OSS, less MS. More coding, less managing.
You might like Evernote, I didn't but it is cross-platform (+web). I've taken to just using a wiki now.
I didn't either. It's definitely good for recording things but I think OneNote has other strengths that make it way better.

#40My goal is to get at least 100 paying customers by the end of the year for my product - http://www.tourzilla.com
Would this scale if you're editing the videos manually?
