#93The big one: quit my comfortable web development job and spend my time learning and contributing to the web3/dao/crypto world, especially the art scene.
I'm financially stable and not looking for $, I'm just really bored and tired of everything that I've been doing for the last decade and this space reminds me of the messy internet that i used to love.
Smaller ones:
- get out of the house more. 2021 was rough
- read books a lot more, I have plenty of time if I steal time from phone/internet
Re: Happy New Year HN! What are your plans for the new year?
#94My plan is to mediate more consistently. Hopefully every day. I’ve found it to help my mental health immensely when I am consistent and recently my mental health has been poor.
But in addition to mental health, I somewhat recently left an extremely rigid religion and have found myself looking for some form of healthy spirituality in my life again and I’m hoping that mediation coupled with a mix of views and philosophies from various eastern religions will help in that part of my life. I don’t expect to believe metaphysical claims from them per se, but to explore them and adopt what I do find makes sense rationally and then also through my own attempts at a spiritual practice.

#95My goal for the next year is just to work fewer hours. Covid pushed my work habit to the extreme, and I need to rebalance. 1. Read more books, less social media/news. 2. Spend more time with my friends. I haven't seen some of them IRL for more than a year. 3. Exercise more, play tennis with my daughter, spend quality time with my kids. 4. Spend more time with my parents. They've become visibly older in the last years…
(Not trying to criticize, just curious) Are the open source work and the business marketing part of/all of the “work” that you want to do less of? If so, what is your plan for balancing doing less of it while still trying to accomplish those goals?
I'm really not good at marketing. Essentially I have to learn how to do it first. I plan to spend more time learning this new skill and then applying it. I've been recommended this [1] course, and if anyone can recommend something that worked for them, that'd be great.
Balancing it with other duties is going to be hard, though I will try to explicitly divide my time into "one-week marketing / one-week dev work." Inside each week, I will try to have days fully reserved for non-work activities.
Programming keeps me in this perpetual cycle of "one more thing for today/this week" which locks me in the IDE without end in sight. I will postpone any dev work that needs to be done until "dev work week" arrives.

#96We're about to have our second kid in spring so that is the biggest thing to look forward to. In prep for that, planning to switch out our sedan for a minivan (due to 2 carseats).
Apart from that, try to keep learning. Pickup something new I didn't know, last year it was chess, this year haven't picked anything yet (maybe swimming).

#97Tbh I feel like I have done everything I want to do at 23. Now the only real aim left is to make as much money as possible just for the challenge of it.

#98Happy New Year!
My family and myself love New Year Resolutions and make traditions of declaring them to one another.
It is usually a full day of past year review and next year planning, that outputs an annual budget (time and money) to align everyone in the household with everyone's personal goals. We decide on volunteer commitments, income targets, expense budgets, vacation plans, subscriptions and activities.
And all of this is enveloped and guided by a personal goal setting conversation.
I have daily, weekly, monthly and annual rituals, but the New Year ritual is my favorite as it is fun, extremely strategic and the whole household comes together to encourage one another to dream and support one another.
This year, our household will be learning French together so we can plan an extended vacation to France this summer, I would like to finally publish my video game, and I hope to continue reducing my use of a car so we can become a 1-car household.

#99Happy New Year!
For 2022 I think my goal is actually to figure out what my life goals should be, in terms of career path and also more on the personal side, I am a bit lost right now.
Work-wise, for the past 3/4 years I have been doing the same thing, building websites and extensions non-stop (I think I've made like 30 so far, although I've gotten rid of a lot of them over the years), and it's gotten a bit boring. I don't know if I should just stick to a couple of products to grow and monetize them, or maybe do something else entirely (AR/iOS/Mac apps/Game development...), but I just don't find it rewarding or exciting anymore sadly. I feel like career-wise it all went too quickly, I'm 21 and I've already worked for several startups with a lot of ownership (leading the design + product side in some of them), so I don't really have much ambition anymore, it feels like I've topped it already in a way (also in terms of salary and comp).
On the personal side, I just feel a bit lost in general. I recently moved to London, but I still don't really know where I belong. I've always thought about moving somewhere like SF, LA, or NYC, I know people in all these places and I constantly feel a lot of FOMO. It's just hard to decide where to live (especially when working fully remote and having no family ties whatsoever), hopefully I figure it out soon enough.

#100Going back to COVID testing for a bit before I jump back into my technical side. There is some serious need, and I have a good amount of experience last year. It's now been a 2 year swap toward volunteering and medical work. Never expected to see things spike this fast.
Looking forward to working myself out of a job and getting back to my technical roots.
