Gonna be plenty of tech stuff on this thread, so taking a risk and revealing some more personal goals:

- learn to drive then drive to the sea somewhere with my dog

- renovate flat

- start citizenship process

- become fluent in Czech, instead of my current level of "awkward and nervous"

- be as nice online as I am in real life

- rejoin badminton league and start playing football again

Find as many moments where I can reach perfect internal balance and experience the incredible joy of being alive.

It's not going to be easy, my corporate job will demand a lot of me, most of me. But my resolution is to fight to create brief moments of freedom.

1 earn an income with my passion project https://QuietNearMe.com 2 play more, more humor, more laughs 3 expand social circle, make new friends

Neat project. For what it's worth I want to poke around at it to discover "what kind of places might you recommend near me" to find out if I'm interested but I don't want to sign up without any sense of its value so I just closed the page.

1. Find a remote infrastructure job in the data science / machine learning space.

2. Move abroad if the said job requires some onsite time, but I'd rather not.

3. Start my own business, my country is kinda late on software stuff and can't afford western product. It's a gap I can fill I think.

4. Grow my online presence

- maybe find a new (main) job

- spend more time with my cats

- better work-life balance

- treat myself better

- spend more time with my family (father was diagnosed with dementia last week)

- watch more sunsets

edit: lots of good things in this thread, some more ideas/goals for me

- contribute to some piece of FOSS

- support university students in my field through a lecture or otherwise

settle in the netherlands (my family and i are moving to amsterdam in january). it's going to be a huge change for us too -- going from a tropical country to an european city, not only not knowing the city itself (we've never been to AMS, only to London), but also, we don't speak any dutch (although my coworkers said i don't really need dutch, my wife and i are trying to learn it).

I think there is plenty who experience this, but I felt like a small breakthrough happen when I took command and only used Norwegian instead of falling back to English. It helped a lot and even if it is not the best, it's opening doors in my career here, in that I am able to get interviews with mostly Norwegian speaking companies. :)
