I'll start with me:
* Started keto - 2 weeks now and counting, lost almost 7 pounds.
* Started the Ruby on Rails tutorial by Michael Hartl - I finally want to get serious about it (failed completing it a couple of times).

#4I' ve been adjusting to a new, much needed lifestyle. I only drink water or tea, no junk food, go to bed very early; I wake up at 5:30 to exercise, meditate and write. I use the (incredibly efficient!) Pomodoro technique to get through tasks.
Since I have a very fluid schedule, I designed the new habits as small "chunks of time" around my only daily constants: breackfast, lunch and dinner. Rather than sticking to "I'm going to exercise at 5:00pm" (who knows, I may be busy then), I prefer "I'm going to practice for 30 min. before breackfast".

#6Kicked off my personal challenge - 12 Apps in 12 Months - in order to force myself to deliver personal projects as opposed to just tinker with stuff and never make it past the beginner phase.
It's working great; I have a slick kanban workflow on Trello going on, and a (tiny, irrelevant, but useful for this purpose) SaaS app in production.
App #2 is under way ahead of schedule since #1 reached MVP with a full week to spare of January.
It's obviously early days in the project, but I hope to make this my year of sincere effort, and personal growth.

#9Pulled together a team of enthusiastic organizers and launched the website for a not-for-profit conference for web developers in the Pacific Northwest [1]. Not technically January, but we just sold-out our first batch of early bird tickets yesterday.

What's the tiny, irrelevant, but useful SaaS app?
Great username, by the way.
