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 :-)
Are there 777 types of fruit (at least edible ones you have access to)?
Health - Undo minor case of hip impingement ( sitting down too much! ) - Connect with more people / foster better relationships. Who knew making friends in a city could be so hard?

Made it through four chapters with co-workers, and then everyone dropped off. - Continue exploring functional programming - Finish my homegrown Japanese kana / kanji language learning tool Other: - Take some of t…
"Who knew making friends in a city could be so hard?" I've never found a place where it was easy to make friends, though the easiest has seemed to be language class full of other immigrants. We all had that one thing in common.
Learning and/or shared discomfort has seemed to foster the closest relationships I've had to date. Perhaps, it's time for more classes.
Coming from the countryside, it's such a strange paradox -- to be surrounded by so many people, but alone at the same time.

* 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).

I'm guessing you've never tried daily gym sessions. Once you find what challenges your body in the way you want, I'm sure that you'll find that you make better progress and feel more satisfied taking rest days in between. On those days I try to get 50-100 pushups during downtime to not feel so sluggish - I really think you'll be happier not pushing your body so much so quickly. Can I ask why you've picked raw veggies…
Eating raw veggies withing 30 mins of waking up seems to stabilize my blood sugar and control food cravings later in the day. Intermittent fasting does wonders for many people. For me, it is good the first day but soon becomes a drain on my willpower. I will be binge eating in 4 days. If intermittent fasting is a storm, eating raw veggies in every meal seems to be like a calm, relaxing, gentle wave. I probably should just stick to what works for me.
- Release a new programming experience that can at least make me more productive (if no one else).

Ignore the haters, as someone who has real trouble sticking to habits, doing something every day, even if it is just walking around in your gym clothes, can really help you build the consistency you need to make it a habit.
On the other hand, I do not seem them as haters. There is truth in what they say, too much exercise also ruins one's body. Just grateful that people actually care about me (a random person on the internet) to give multiple opinions from different perspectives. Really helps to get a balanced view.

Get some IT/programming certificates, skill up to a job with a wage to get out of debt faster, and start a side project I've been wanting to get off the ground for a while.
What's the gist of the side project? If you don't mind answering of course.
I have never been uncivil online however I've also never been especially good at voice my positive feelings either. Therefore I will make the effort of putting mentioning positive things and not just nod approvingly at home.
