I've already started mine - a personal dashboard app that combines all my most-used features of various other apps/sites into one place that I control.

So far it handles note-taking and task management, as well as showing me all issues and pull requests assigned to me.

Prioritize my list of projects for a change. I'm far too guilty of "chasing the shiny new object." I work on a project, realize how much work will be needed, resignedly go on with it, something new comes along...you get the idea. Recently found out about the Pomodoro technique, which will be helpful for new stuff and the HabitBull app for ongoing projects.

A few months ago I took a position as a Team Lead. For the first time in my career I am responsible for the work of others. My focus is going to be on making it as easy as possible for the folks on my team to do their jobs with minimal interruptions or annoyances. I know that means I'll have Outlook and Word open at least as much or more than my IDE, which will be a big change. I'd like to learn a JS framework as wel…

good luck! After six months as cto, I have to tell you, ohhh boy I HATE IT!

I'm going to continue to get out of the way of my team who do an awesome job running http://www.staffsquared.com which we started three years ago.

Using the time this frees up I'll be launching http://www.thingsclick.com and doing some consultancy bits for various companies helping with their digital marketing.

"A few times I been 'round this track" - Gwenneth Rennae Steffani.

Deep in a few years on a couple of things. Wish it was as simple as starting new things each year, but I fall hard and commit deep to projects. This has come from learning it's best to hang in there and see shit out. Personally interested in the wilderness between Youtube and plain old television, personally. Onwards we go into the new year I guess. Best of luck everyone with 2016 projects.
