Happy New Year HN! What are your plans for the new year?

I didn't want to do new years resolutions this year, but when contemplating not doing any, I came up with more than any year before this... I have them jotted down in great detail, but basically;

1. Make 100k$ with creating and selling something. I have done this a bunch of times before but became complacent working on my main project. So that I want to attempt.

2. Build something VR. The Quest 2 (both because of Immersed because someone here on HN said it was great); as a long time follower of VR (headsets in the 00s that gave me feelings of strokes, vrml, the kickstarter first Rift, psvr etc) this thing is a gamechanger and now vr has arrived.

3. Walk. A lot. This year I did 2021 km so next year 2022 at least.

Keep up my existing good habits and improve on those that I'm not quite happy with yet. E.g. meditating regularly and getting into a regular sleep schedule.

Apart from that just business goals. I want to finish automating all the day to day tasks, which I'm really close to, finally. Then go on vacation, which I haven't done in the past 5 years. Aside from that growing the business of course, which should be easier once the day to day tasks are taken care of automatically.

No resolutions. I have 5 3D Printers now; want to design and build my own printer next. Start a small business printing parts / accessories.

I don’t tend to do new year resolutions, but 2022 will see my first attempt at building my own business, which I’m incredibly excited for. I’ve been preparing to do so for a while now, and I finally decided to take the plunge this year. I hope to have something to Show HN soon!

Otherwise, a personal goal of mine going into 2022 is to become more aware of my mental and physical well-being. More specifically, knowing my personal limits and being more open towards my friends and family about how I’m feeling. I spent a few consecutive years working too hard without proper balance, and it really took its toll on me this year. I’ve been taking a small break over December between wrapping up my previous job and starting my business ideas next year. It’s been great to have zero mindshare spent on work for a while!

Stay safe, and all the best for the new year!

Happy New Year !

I intend to finish my current project, then take the summer off and spend time with my wife and children before they are too old to enjoy time with their dad due to living their own lives, and while we all have the time, energy, and money to have memorable experiences together.

After that, I'm not sure what I'll be doing - I'm deliberately not planning my next moves because I don't want something to come up and draw my attention away from a summer with family.
