Ask HN: What are your goals for 2019?
Happy New Year from Sydney, Australia!
It's the time of year again, what are your goals for 2019? Mine are to start a new startup!
- mortivore 8y agoLose weight, track reading, vacation in Europe, keep a journal, drink more water, make more money, develop technical skills. So a few. Been working on breaking them down into manageable chunks.
- jelliclesfarm 8y agoIt’s my last year to try and automate my farm. I will likely give up farming if I can’t find some way to cut labour costs and be profitable.
- lionpixel 8y agoWould love to hear what kind of things you already automated on your farm :)
- jelliclesfarm 8y agoNothing I can discuss right now, unfortunately.
- schappim 8y agoWhat things are you going to try to automate?
- jelliclesfarm 8y agoFor now, field prep. But not like in regular primary and secondary tillage which is broadcast tillage.
- apo 8y agoI'm starting with a 2018 review, as described here: https://medium.com/@schlaf/how-to-conduct-an-annual-life-review-that-will-catapult-you-into-the-new-year-d5aaffebac1f https://medium.com/@schlaf/how-to-conduct-an-annual-life-rev... Then, I'm going to set some realistic goals based on what I find.

- happppy 8y agoMake more money. Do more for my parents and siblings. Move on with my life and end shitty relationship once and for all.
- soulchild37 8y agoEarn more from my products (e-books / apps), wouldn't say goal but hopefully a stretch goal that the products profit can cover my living expense (~$700 a month, I live in a relatively third world country). My current monthly average earning from products are around $150 ish
- EnderMB 8y agoI've set some modest goals for this year. * Fix my diet. I'm fit, but my diet is awful, and I feel awful for it. Rather than just cutting out "bad" things I'm going to do some actual research into what I should be eating, what's best for after exercise, how much and how late I should be eating, etc. * Get married. As of Christmas I am now engaged, so most of this year will be wedding planning. We have an ambitious goal to book something this year. * Become proficient in another language. I\ve spent a decade working with C#, and I've learned enough Ruby to be dangerous. I'd either like to use Python in anger on a non-trivial project, or pick up something a bit different like Kotlin or Rust. * Compete in BJJ. I want to do at least one competition at blue belt before being promoted, and if I can get a medal to add to my silver medal at white belt I'll be very happy. * Apply to a big tech company. I've never managed to get an interview, so I'd love to at least get an interview with one of the top six.
