Re: Ask HN: What’s your plan in 2019?
#82I completed my family this month. I have my dream job. I officially have everything I want in life, and now I just have to enjoy it all. So my focus is on: - improving living, eating, exercise habits - working on how not to lose perspective. I've turned down more money for more time with my family. I hope into my 30s I don't accidentally lose perspective on what's important. So far I think the trick is to live a poor…
It's funny to hear you say you've completed your family I have an 18 year old, and I feel like I'm just getting into the real parenting.

#83Leave the shell of a company that sucks the happiness out of me, and move somewhere warmer.
Am in the same boat but you put the matter much more succinctly than I could. Thanks.

#84Learn how to invest - it seems to be relatively simple (especially if you're a news nerd like most peple here) but emotionally deceptive. Not many people in Australia are doing it (past their regular Super/401k-equivalent). I've started to read the 'classic' books (The Intelligent Investor for example), and will probably do some paper trading before I jump into the 'real' thing

Obviously Australia will have it's own peculiarities but still a great resource!

#85Be more conscientious about planning my days--and therefore my weeks, months, and years. I have been out of school for five years now and I noticed recently that time feels like it slipped through my fingers like water. I hardly know where it went. Of course I know logically where it went--I was living them, after all--but in some respect it feels like somebody else was living them because I lived without aim or purp…
That’s a wonderful goal and resonates with me as well. Your first and second points stand in direct contrast to each other - being more conscientious and deliberate without over intellectualizing and dealing with decision paralysis. You might benefit from talking to a counselor or someone who can help prevent you from getting stuck thinking in circles.

#861) Gained back some weight due to holiday stress/drinking. Going to hard cut for a bit and try and get below 15% BF.
2) Try and get into some professional programming, deep into the internals of golang.
3) Do the entire "Math for Programmers" Book
4) Get into FPV Drone Racing. Autonomous flight. Have some ideas surrounding INAV and a 5" Quad that I have.
5) Figure out how not to dread existence.

> So far I think the trick is to live a poorer lifestyle than your income suggests you ought to, which drastically reduces all financial and employment pressure
Yes. And then if you can find a high-paying job that allows you to work less than the typical 40 hour work week (eg: 20 hour work week) it'd be perfect, don't you think?

#898 hours of sleep per night. That’s it. If I can nail this, everything else will fall into place. I’ll naturally drink less alcohol and eat better. In the last few months, I’ve experimented (via Apple Watch) with the impact that alcohol and diet has on sleep. The book Why We Sleep, combined with habit theory, has had the greatest influence on this decision.
Where did this "8 hours" figure come from? I find it funny that people want to get this mysterious 8 hours of sleep while here I'm wanting to sleep less (I routinely get 9-10 hours or even more every night despite drinking coffee 2-3 times).

#90Earlier quoted context omitted.
Just curious, what about your current job sucks the happiness out of you?
My company used to have great employees, who I learned a lot from and to this day respect. I've been there 9 years now. At the first sign of trouble, the brightest left. At the next sign of trouble, the next brightest left, and so on and so forth. I don't necessarily think of myself as not bright, but being remote it was a great job compared to my city. Each iteration of trouble I watched the people I respect leave,…
Definitely find a new job. Take the courage to face the uncertainty. That's what I did, and I'm happier than before.
Think of it is as the mental equivalent of all those physically risky activities people do (mountain climbing, etc.). It can actually be quite exciting.
