I'll skip the usual suspects. I successfully made several positive changes this year. I'm going to improve upon it further next year.

- Launch the webapp that I'm working on. I plan to do it in January.

- Be mindful, especially of how I spend my day. I made https://crushentropy.com/ to make this easier. It has been working out great. I can see that my productivity has gone up, my attention isn't scattered, and I feel more content by the end of each day. I'll do more of this in 2018 and add more related habits and routines.

- I read 33+ books so far this year: https://kirubakaran.com/bookshelf/ This is my current personal best and I'll try to beat this in 2018. Most of the time for this came from cutting back on Hacker News and Reddit, which don't relax me as well as reading a book for 30min does.

- I couldn't travel as much as I wanted to in 2017. I plan to compensate for this in 2018 ;-) I also plan to hike, snowboard, and play racquetball more than I did in 2017.

This is the year I'm finally going to learn front end, just enough to prototype. Don't roast me alive, but I'm thinking of starting with jQuery. It seems much more learnable for a web stack beginner, and probably serviceable for a long time to come for someone who mainly prototypes ideas that need an elemental gui.
