I'm in the UK. We're do the same - although often people break them!!! My wife and I have done 'goals' for the year. I'd say 50% of them are easily achievable, but things we want to 'get done' and 50% of them would be a stretch. It's amazing that by writing them down how many times we achieve things by focusing on what we want to do in that year. Some years we are way way off, but then that's just amusing. For me, I'll not bore you too much but I want: 1) To learn Python. Sounds a bit boring I know but I'm primarily a business guy these days, though I taught myself PHP years ago so that I could converse and work better with the team of coders I work with 2) To focus on 3 products I want out the door. Not to go off chasing new shiny things!! 3) To meditate more, do yoga to a better level and become a vegetarian (an odd one to some people I know, but its a goal I have!) Irrespective to what I want to achieve, I'd like to say thank you to everyone on HN. I've been on this site since the beginning and whilst I don't know any of you guys personally it is a wonderful community and I have learned (and continue to learn) loads about tech, but also a much more rounded group of topics. May I wish you the very best for this coming year both on a personal level and also for what you choose to do in terms of work.
