I have posted my 2015 review base on my 2015 resolutions; I find that using habits to achieve goal seem like workable. Instead of having a big goal and try to rush to complete at the end of the year, break in down into smaller habits and track it weekly or monthly.

Here are my 2016 resolutions and I m going to track it with Trello.

 

My 2016 resolutions mainly split into 5 main Goal.

  • Work / Product / Life Balance.
  • Stay Healthy.
  • Build Habits.
  • Build something every month, I didn’t make it last year and going to try again this year.
  • Convert from freelancer to product owner.

2016-trello

It’s quite obvious looks like the enhance version of 2015 resolutions except the last one, which is the most challenging and is tough when you want to maintain the work-life balance. I going to put all effort in this year to make it happen.

As I mention in the review 2014 , I didn’t complete any resolution 2014 , so this year I just want to repeat mostly my 2014 resolution in habit building style rather than goal style, just like what zenhabits recommend – Create habits, not goals or resolutions in order to create an amazing 2015.

I going to start some new habit hopefully by end the year, all the new habits stick.

  • Blogging – want to write more.
  • Exercise –  want to slim down.
  • Reading – trying to be balance maybe 1 common book and 1 technical book.
  • Learning – going to spend more time on the Laracast and activate my codeschool account.
  • Build – build a WordPress plugin every month, be it commercial or not.

New Year Wallpaper.

my humble wish for 2015 is maintain these habit above 80%, happy 2015 !

Another year , another resolution post. I try to set a few goal every year there is no exception this year , although with the new additional family member , I can foresee this will be a greater challenge.

  • Build habit – It seem like some of the goal is hard to achieve, a better way to counter it is start from small , make it daily repeat and become a habit.
  • Learn diff – I still mainly focus on PHP for the past few day , this year I would like to step out the comfort zone, learn something new , maybe node js or iOS.
  • Write more – Be it blogging or journal, I feel that I wrote too little for the past 2 year, I m not strong on language already , this will make it worse, so write more will be something I want to do this year.
  • Different Source of income – This really need to be done since I will need to spend more time with the family with the new family member, I don’t really able to sell my time to generate more income, product and other source of income should be kick in to balance it.
  • Side projects – There are few side project in my mind for the past few year, hopefully I can squeeze out some time to get it done for at least 2 project.

2014-start

that’s pretty much , hopefully everyone have a great year ahead, happy 2014 !

Another year , another resolution post. I been writing resolution post every year since 2006 and so far I m not really satisfy for my own performance, hopefully this will be a different year. A really important self reminder, I should take small step often to build up in order to meet my resolution, not just set a big goal then just give up in the middle way.

  • Weight control.
  • Build Open Source & personal project.
  • Create multiple source income other than freelancing.
  • Expanding business.

There are some other smaller goal which I going to track monthly, hopefully end of the year review , I can doing a lot better this year.

Happy 2013 to everyone and wish you hitting your resolution this year !

This is a must-write post every year , but as usual I want to try something different this year, a good read on zen habit’s fitguide and Mr Jamie’s double resolution .

In stead of setting goals, I would like to build habit and focus on the process. Hopefully this will help me really counter my weight goal which appear on my resolution every year.

  • Build up exercise habit.
  • Create more personal project.
  • Generate multiple source of income.
  • Hack more things.
  • More self-control , anger management and be positive.


It might be a lot stressful this year , but just like my wife say, none of the things will wait for you until you’re free, you want something ?  Go For It !

This should be my yearly resolution post , although this kind of post should be done on the first few day of the year but as usual the post has been delay but at least I have completed this post earlier then last year.

Since last year I have change the way to plan my resolutions, I just give myself some general goals without much detail , which seem like a better way for me to achieve these goals.

  • Doing more webwork for boost up my development skill, include 2 special apps for my work
  • Settle down with my own place, a must for this year.
  • Be more healthy , include the weight issue and easy getting tired.

That’s all for my goals this year, nothing tough but need to be strict to myself in order to get these 3 goals done. Since this is a special year for me , I hope it will be a good year for me.

in term of score i only getting 4  out of 11  , although some of the goal really affected by unexpected reason but after all i still think i m not doing good enough for this year. At the same time i really need to be more organize on my goal and split it with my time line, there are some goal i actually planning to do it on my very last long holidays but in the end i miss some.
