No "what will you accomplish" thread for 2024?

[Andreas Thiel]

Saw the shup up thread, so maybe there is none because GoalSumo.com beats new years resolutions?
I thought the review threads were always interesting and sharing what's on your 6-12 months horizon doesn't seem at odds with the GoalSumo.com approach to me.

It's because rEsOLuTiOnS and stupid promises don't work, and January 1 (or any other arbitrary number) means nothing.

The New Year's resolutions are nothing more than the failed goals and frustration accumulated over the previous year - or years - turned inward and used as a coping mechanism for justifying our failures while evoking a false sense of hope for the future, as if we magically become a different person at 12:00AM on January 1st.

Resolutions don't work. What works instead:

• CLEAR GOALS
• STRATEGY
• EXECUTION
• SYSTEMATIC SELF-ASSESSMENT

This year I failed to quit nicotine and work fully focused on a single project - like the F*cking loser that I am - and now I am paying the price. Perceived wasted time is the heaviest burden a man can experience.

On the positive side, I worked very hard and learned many valuable lessons during 2023, with the most important one being HYPERFOCUS - Prioritize and Execute. Thanks again @Antifragile



Pain is the best motivator in the world. It will make you take your hand off that stove very quickly.

New years resolutions and other self-esteem rising bullshit only numb this pain and trick you into staying the same, insufficient, and incompetent human being year after year.
