Ask HN: Make a New Year's resolution

14 points by curt ↗ HN
As the holidays are upon us and we are closing out the year, it's a great time for self-reflection and making the decision to improve. What are your goals/resolutions for the new year?

Come back in a year and let us know if you succeeded.

1) Finish the iPhone application I've been working on in my spare time within the next 3 months.

2) Find a full-time gig at a fun/energetic company designing and creating products I love.

3) Put on 20 lbs of muscle

Mine is to quit drinking redbull.
Just don't switch to No-Carb Rockstar. One of these cans has 250mg of caffeine and I'm up to 2 per day. That's half a gram, which makes me feel like a true drug addict. I feel like Jessie from Saved By the Bell singing "I'm So Excited" all hopped up on caffeine pills.
Be Happy!
