1. Continue on the path of graduating cum laude -- √
2. Publish three academic papers -- due to an error on my side, this only became two :-(
3. Get a job -- √
4. Start a side project which actually has a chance of making some money -- well, this never happened...
5. Find the woman of my dreams -- thought I had found her, got rejected for a superficial reason, called her out on it, rejected her, met her again months later but felt I was too busy doing 1 & 2 to invest time in her. She's got a boyfriend now.
===============================
============This Year=============
1. Graduate before september so I can start my PhD position.
1. Further nurture being my MDMA-self without actually being on MDMA.
2. gain a more fundamental understanding of CS/programming, beyond just the webdev stuff and disjointed snippets of knowledge.
3. Find a partner, to ground me somewhat and keep me from getting lost in my thoughts too much (and forget basic good habits like eating, sleeping, working out, and socializing).
4. Make more friends, and broaden my network. The past year's been (intentionally) quiet, but I feel I'm missing out on what Berlin has to offer.
5. Simplify my life even more, lose more of my ego, practice empathy.
2. Actually start going to the gym and continue bouldering.
3. Release my SaaS (again). First release completely borked because I was reliant on a mate doing the work he said he would. He half arsed it and stuff broke. I learnt to check everything!
4. See more of the world. Last year I travelled to Jamaica and Antigua through my employer :)
I have set just one goal for a new business venture (although I have others) which is to hit $50k/month by this time next year. I'm just working this new years eve on the steps required to achieve this.
Let me also wish everyone who reads this a prosperous 2014. Hope you achieve what you are aiming for
Write a standalone app based on something I have done at work.
See if it makes any money, if not use it as a decent example of what I can do - most freelance gigs seem to expect you to have an example of your work. All my stuff is in house.
