Tbh 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.
Keep it up and you’ll be a terachad soon!

#103We'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).
Congrats!

#104It tend not to set too many aspirational objectives as circumstances outside your control (think 2020, 2021) can end up in failure which is demotivating so I throw myself a new 4 week target every 4 weeks and work towards that.
The first one is clear out all the remaining junk in my house that I don't use. Most of this is already stacked up ready for sale or disposal and it's not even the 1st of Jan :)
The one queued up after that is run 5k again (I could do this until covid got me in april 2020)

#105My goal is building a SaaS to $500 MRR. I work in a non-tech field but have always enjoyed coding. This hasn’t led to a business because I have focused on features I thought would be useful and interesting but weren’t solving core customer problems. In 2022 I will focus on customer development first and build from there.
I like your goal because it sounds achievable. Best of luck!

#106In a previous HN post, there was a discussion about separating career work from passion/hobbies. That hit home to me as I have been learning a new hobby (camera, audio, software) with trying to produce and support my wife's podcast. My goal in 2022 is to be better at production with updated equipment, software, and editing techniques.

Great discussions if you are into the topics of spirituality, health, ET/UFOs, and consciousness.
Happy New Year everyone. May 2022 bring happiness, success, and peace to you and your families.

#108I recently read Atomic Habits by James Clear, and also listened to some process philosophy from Steven West's Philosophize This. One takeaway that I had was on the danger of setting goals. I am trying to build a mindset of 'becoming' or to embrace the journey of the goal rather than really trying to achieve a specific milestone.
- I want to reduce/eliminate my alcohol consumption to become a person that doesn't rely on alcohol for social distraction or self-medication. To achieve this I have stopped keeping any alcohol in my home. If I have a drink it will need to be out somewhere and by virtue a 'special occasion'.
- I want to improve my work-life balance by setting expectations that I am unavailable after 5pm. I aspire to be someone who can remain a high performer while also finding and following my passions. This year I will continue to shape those passions. There is no real milestone that I feel I need to set.

#1092022 is the year I actually sit down and learn how to use Blender to make models to use in WebGL projects.
Technically 2021 is because I've already started, but that's just details.

#110Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can you share more about other things you have made and sold?
Most were a while ago (hence the complacent part), but I made a hosting panel (those were popular little over 10 years ago) and sold that (made well over 100k$ in a few months), hosting company hosting millions of sites/apps, a proprietary CMS company, a company that sold games related stuff, a dating site, a PoS system+hardware and a bunch more things. They were all side projects at the time besides the CMS company…
Sweet deal. How much did you make in total?
