#1331. Ship every day - keep momentum going (talking to new customers, fixing bug, building new feature) 2. Be more accountable - write on Skype every day to my business partner what I will work on today. 3. Stay focused - Keep putting the gas on the 1 or 2 things taht work. 4. Stop seeking perfection - find 90% of results with 10% of efforts. And of course: 5. Travel more - I plan to visit South Korea, Japan, China, Rus…
How do you plan on shipping every day, being more accountable, and staying focused when you take enough time off to visit 6 different countries in one year? Sounds like resolution #6 should be to stop bullshitting yourself.

> What are you planning on creating? /s Maybe I'll start with posting on sites rather than just reading the comments :) For a few examples I have in mind: Instead of just playing games, try to create them. Theres the global game jam coming up. I'll make some time for it. And spend the first few weekends this year going over unity tutorials. Instead of just using apps, hit the hackathons join the teams and try to make…
Ha, I interpreted the 'less consuming' as 'buying less things you don't need/not replacing smartphone every single year/not spilling food by not buying more than you can eat/not wasting electricuty/...' and 'creating' as 'try to fix broken things instead of throwing them away/creating art instead of buying it/growing vegetables instead of buying/...'.
Which shows it is a nice principle since anybody can fill it in the way they like.

#135Mid 2017 I started reading more and I ended up reading 30 books. It has been incredibly fulfilling, my head is constantly full of new ideas and I find myself a better person.
I want to continue with this trend and read 50 books and write a review for each of them.
Additionally, as I just moved to Berlin, I want to make new friends here.

#137I’ll be doing a slightly-silly personal challenge that I made up: walk 7,777,777 steps, write 777,777 words, do 77,777 jumping jacks, 7,777 press-ups, eat 777 different types of fruit, achieve target weight of 77kg, and run 7 10K races. https://medium.com/@7sevens/the-seven-sevens-challenge-c7b7d...
That'e excellent resolution because it has specific and measurable goals. Everything that says like "eat less junk food" is going to be ignored 1 week later. I like 777 types of fruit, gonna steal this one :-)

#1381. Complete my SaaS projects and generate enough revenue to become ramen-profitable.
2. Keep up the habits I have finally developed:
- Clean diet - staying away from bad food, coffee, nootropics.
- Exercise - running every day.
- Coding every day - learning from courses or adding features to my projects.
- Writing every day - working on blog posts, video scripts, or at least writing quora answers.
- Writing at least 4 jokes per day. Striving to post them regularly (tweet, use them in my articles, write routines).
- Info diet - reading, staying away from reddit, consuming news only through RSS and HN.
That's pretty much it. I want to stay healthy, make money, and get better at my craft. Nothing else needed.

#139* Exercise Everyday (intensity/duration may vary, but never ever miss) * Make healthy diet changes one at a time (Very very hard to do. Try to do multiple stuff and drop them all. ) First change, start with raw veggies in the morning. * Delta-debug how to get into flow state as many time and as fast as possible (Kramer's rule from below, couldn't be better stated). For starters, work on one and only one thing at a ti…
I advise against daily workouts. You'll end up overtraining. You need days of rest for your muscles to grow. A common advice is either 3 days of general exercise, or 2 leg days + 2 upper body days. Note some exercises can't be pidgeon-holed that way, like swimming. This is currently my favorite training program: http://www.50pullups.com/ You get the essential exercises: pushups, squats, pullups, with advice how to tr…
I'm only seeing a pullup training program on your link - is there a supplemental program for the squats etc?

#140I'm resolving to produce a lot less garbage, cardboard, and plastic recycling, and plant 50 trees. Probably the biggest problem is going to be my Amazon habit. Does anybody have suggestions for reducing packaging from Amazon?
Use the waste packaging to craft stuff for your home and workplace. Start a forum/slack with makers interested in stuff like this and share ideas. You can probably build a lot of eco friendly solutions to your everyday problems with the high quality packaging.
