Ask HN: New Year Resolutions

by Insanity·9y ago·7 comments·view on hn ↗
Did any of you make new years resolutions, and if so, which ones?
7 comments
This year I am going to focus on being less passive. I have written down some achievable goals and instead of only thinking about doing them I am going to push myself to complete them.

In the past I have been too complacent and this lowers my self-esteem indirectly when I feel like I never get around to finishing these goals.

The last "news years resolution" I made was about 18 years ago, when I resolved to quit making new years resolutions.

That said, the new year is always a time to reflect and re-evaluate and make plans. I already commented on my plans for 2017 in some other threads.

Try to eat better and get more exercise to be healthier.

Try to give up soda and drink more water.

Don't try, make it happen :)
