Ask HN: What are the things you haven't accomplished for 2024?
With only a month and a half left in 2024, take a moment to review your annual plan and identify what’s still incomplete. Let’s work on finishing them!
As for me:
1. Fitness progress hasn’t been great.
2. Haven’t met my reading target for books.
Keep going!!
- throwaway519 2y agoI have not finished rewriting my Python `learning CMS' in Go. But that's OK, I'm on the way to learning Go.
- vdvsvwvwvwvwv 2y agoStill want to make something with an rpi and 3d printer. There is time!
- sk11001 2y agoGetting a new job - changing priorities, difficult market, losing motivation to keep searching. Did well on health goals though.
- 2rsf 2y ago> Getting a new job - changing priorities, difficult market, losing motivation to keep searching. Me too
- chistev 2y agoStill haven't made my first thousand dollars.
- trumbitta2 2y agoBut you will
- chistev 2y agoAmen
- mikewarot 2y agoI haven't made a BitGrid ASIC, Compiler, debugger, nor characterized it's efficiency. Haven't started using Genode as my daily driver.
- acquiremoney 2y agoFor me its just work work 50-60 hours. I want to get healthy spend more time with my family and on hobbies. Alas i cannot. Hopefully in 2025.
- vdvsvwvwvwvwv 2y agoWhat hours are you doing now and (if you want to answer) why so many?
- trumbitta2 2y agoI don't necessarily like to focus on what I didn't do and I wanted to, but: - get fit (did lose 10kg of 15 tho) - complete the first draft of my debut novel
- hnthrowaway0328 2y agoStill haven't figured out what I truly love at age 40+. Guess it's a life long mission. Maybe that's what I truly love to do -- to figure out what I truly love to do. How pathetic.
- xqb64 2y agoI haven't either, although I'm a little younger than you (about to turn 31), so deep down there's still hope I eventually will within some reasonable timeframe, while I'm still "young".
- hnthrowaway0328 2y agoI wish you good luck. It's tough (because we cannot lie to ourselves).
- vdvsvwvwvwvwv 2y agoDon't worry: what you truly love is a moving target as no one stays still. No 40 year old is like themselves at 30 or 20, or will be at 50.
- meiraleal 2y agoLaunching my side project. At least I got in better shape (and I'm happier for that than launching a side project)
- notesinthefield 2y agoLearning to swim : turns out its difficult to find an instructor if youre over the age of 10. I desperately want to learn so I can paddleboard and kayak with my partner.
- closetkantian 2y ago1. Same with fitness. Need to start up again, remembering that something is better than nothing. 2. Need a hard deadline to finish writing my book. It's dragged on too long. I can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. 3. Need to make sure to stay consistent with studying Chinese. It's easy to slip. 4. Cut back on drinking.

- Quinzel 2y ago1. Changing careers - though I’m still steadily working towards the new chosen career path by completing all the academic/study requirements, but I’m increasingly ready to throw in the towel with the old career, but now is not quite the right time, just gotta hang in there for another year or so.
- CM30 2y agoHaven't finished my side projects. Have a bunch of things in progress (apps, games, videos, etc) that I expected would be done by the end of the year (or close to done), but which are still far from the finish line. Part of this is because of depression, part of this is because of the job searching grind, and part of this is because at least a few things I'm reliant on for these projects are being handled by someone else and they've only got so many hours in the day. But yeah, they'll be done someday. Hopefully by the end of this year or the next.
