1. Graduate before september so I can start my PhD position. √
2. Date more. √
3. Move to a better place. √
Great success!
===============================
============This Year=============
1. Publish, publish, publish
2. Start side-business
3. Stop gaining weight
I guess that would depend on the degree of preparation. Perhaps I've prepared for ever to become Master of the World at 23:59:59? That would be a big plan for 2014 :-)
- contribute at one open source project. I use OSS so much that I feel I should give back even a little.
- manage successfully to reach day 14 of my fasting experiment that started December 26th then continue to fast one day a week
- finally start the side project that is bugging me since 2007 !
- find an alternative source of income (this is sorely needed and might be provided by the side project)
- get better at my hobby
- Learn the Ada programming language (just because)
2. Work on one thing at a time (no more multi-tasking). This includes not doing something else while talking to somebody.
3. Plan out when to do work the day it's assigned, and don't leave it to the last minute.
4. Meditate daily.
5. Minimize distractions. That is, no reddit, less Facebook, Twitter, and HN.
I guess those are more goals than plans, but same idea.
Edit to add: get into shape to run a marathon in late 2015 or early 2016. I ran one last year, but I've lost most of my progress this year.
Run a marathon (new to running, so a BIG task)
Quit my job (been three months in a job and already want to quit) and do something that throws some money at me
2. Start experimenting with quantum algorithms.
3. Expand my social circle.
4. Be more positive.
