CENTS at 17. Accountability Thread

[Kevinn]

I'm 17 and I'm in high school and will turn 18 in a few months. I work as a server at a retirement home. I noticed a reoccurring theme with me and my coworkers complaining about the software we use to take orders and charge residents. Service will often be delayed because of these issues. I see multiple ways to fix these problems, skew value, and create a more efficient software. I would be able to control my own software and prices, entry would be fairly difficult, I see a definite need (at least at my job), potential for scale is massive, and it can be sold without my presence.

I am creating this thread to hold me accountable. While attempting to create a new software is my main goal, I will also be trying to improve other aspects of my life as well.
Here are some of my goals:

1. Cutting down on Social Media to < 1 hour per day in 1 week (Used to be around 2 hours a day but went to 5 during winter break)
2. Learning my native language in 6 months (Vietnamese)
3. Learn to create a simple program with Python (Tic Tac Toe maybe?) in 2 weeks (Eventually create more and more complex projects until I can create my product)
4. Losing 5 pounds in one month (I've lost 40lbs and gained lots of muscle, just want to be more toned)

I plan on updating this thread with around two posts per week. I plan on this being at least a few years long.
And don't worry, I am still going to college. I plan on majoring in finance.
