You can read Cal Newport's books like Deep Work. You can even subscribe to his blog. It helped me a lot to grow my business.

If you don't have an idea, you can work to improve what you did last year.

#161. Make immigration real for my family and move to Finland or Canada for a better life.
2. Improve my English and try to make it my first language.
3. Get uncomfortable by starting to surround myself with people who are way smarter than me.

On the part of improving your language, try Benny Lewis's advice at FluentIn3Months. Use services like Duolingo and FluentU. I've tried it. Trust me, it helps a lot.

#18Carried over from last year:
- Finish lisp and react (by implementing deployable programs in both).
- Get a part time freelance/remote gig to support me during this phase.
Primary Objective this year:
Develop my business intuition and common sense i.e. improve my meta-thinking. I plan to read a lot of books (50 is the ambitious target), write more and get feedback.
Also, get a freelance gig to fund all the above.

#19Make and share more content in 2017.
The plan already in motion is to post a beautiful satellite image wallpaper every day at http://landsat365.org. These are optimized for the 2880x1800 MacBook Pro Retina screens.
This is the first time I have had a webserver to admin as I please, so I am learning more unix sysadmin skills and more about web tech. My background is in the Earth Sciences but I am looking to beef up my internet knowledge outside of computer science and data processing.
