Survey Results - What are your New Year resolutions?

My New Yer resolution: no New Year resolutions.

Same for me.

Sorry for my bad English

I agree and especially if they are new year resolutions.

+1.

I'm continually working on trying to be a better person (with mixed results, at best). I don't need to wait for the Earth to be in roughly a certain orbital position to try.

ditto

From thirty years ago: to no make new year resolutions again.
This followed "Not to refer to the sales dweeb as 'Kevin the Gerbil'" which I managed to keep until he left the company.

Not bother with New Years resolutions

For a little more than a year now, I feel like I am through with my "Developer-Me". 37 Years is enough.
No, I do not want to "give it 3 more years to get the 40".

These days, I am a Trainer and Teacher (yes, IT-Education, building up young souls to become developers at some day in the future, but this is still something completely different to being an active developer).

I can feel it inside, 2022 will be my last year in the IT, very very _very_ likely even as a teacher. My inner voice gets louder each day to jump on an entirely new train, to try and learn something completely different for the last years before I retire. Money is no longer the #1 factor, more than 30 years give a good backup, not good enough to stop immediately, but not much missing.
I don't know, where the trip will end, what job I will start in the next chapter, but I have some ideas.
I don't call it a new-year-resolution, I call it a this-is-for-sure for 2022. Year of change for me.

Merry X-Mas to you all and I hope everyone is fine these days! (as fine as one can be...)
Yours,
Mike

I've got multiple projects in all phases, I want to finish them.
