2010's not over yet! Don't wait until the next year to be productive, start NOW. You all have 5 days left.

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

1. Get 10,000 subscribers for digest.io

2. Get 10,000 queries / post per day on spotted.at

3. Smile more, appreciate life and get a date or two. :-)

Get personally cashflow-positive without a job with iOS or webdev contracting and/or my new top-secret analytics project, hehe :)

We've recently gotten our first paying customer after many free trials. Our goal is to get 100 customers within the next year.

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.
