Ask HN: It's that time of year again, what are your 2022 goals?
Personal, professional
- what should I start to do?
- what am I doing and should I continue?
- what should I stop doing?
- gjvc 5y agoDo yourself a favour and keep your goals to yourself.
- ok_dad 5y agoThis is true, studies have shown sharing an incomplete goal reduces your focus and motivation, as if you’ve already achieved it.
- lookingforsome 5y agoI find that if I post my high level goals publicly, I am more likely to complete them so people can see my progress. Anyone else?
- disadvantage 5y agoYou are only accountable to yourself. 99% of goals are to impress people you don't even like. My only metric is to be a little bit better than my previous self, no matter how slow I go to achieve that.
- lookingforsome 5y agoCare to shine some light on some of those personal metrics you like to use?
- themodelplumber 5y agoI like the thread idea, op. Personally my 2022 goals are a bit hazy as yet. I have some candidates in my notes, but a continuation of the 2021 goals is sounding really tempting [0]. I had a lot of fun with those goals this year. Also, my best, most fulfilling goals for 2021 were added some weeks after the start of the new year. 0. 2021: Return to making more art, Develop more of a childlike sense of play, Learn how to take a nap really easily, Increase stamina, Re-learn a knot from my scouting years. For the less-specific goals I tend to develop at least simple measuring scales so I can keep track of progress.
