I’ve never set goals for the new year before, but now that I’m writing a blog, why not?
Mind
- Gain a better understanding of mathematics. I wish I realized the importance of this field sooner (thank you K-12 teachers). I could give a long explanation of why it’s important, but this article does an amazing job.
- Drastically improve my handwriting. In short, it’s terrible, and I need to write a final exam this summer. Also, my memory is awful, and I hear writing helps that too.
- Learn how to code. Some people argue that we should all be learning Mandarin, as it will be the language of the future. I believe web-based programming languages will truly be that of the future. Also, I’m a builder at heart and as fun as VC is, I really want to get back to that.
- Improve my understanding of learning, the education system, security technology, and web/mobile technology in developing countries. These are all areas in which I would love to find startups to back, and people to share ideas with.
- Write more. This blog (and twitter) has been a great way to record thoughts and really think through ideas, even if most don’t get posted.
Body
- Drink more water. It’s good for you. Even if it makes you have to pee a lot.
- Run twice a week. It’s good for you (and it doesn’t make you have to pee a lot).
- Eat healthier. I have a terribly powerful sweet tooth that needs taming.
