Learning, startup or anything.

    Most years in my life, new year's has been significant -- a time to change, reset, refocus, set goals, etc. This year, I don't know why, but I am not into that at all. I am still trying to do all of those things but I am taking things a day at a time, and striving for daily consistency and "path-finding" instead of setting up plans for a whole year. For me, I think it's partly about incorporating learning -- e.g. I might know something in two weeks that would change my entire rest of the year. That doesn't mean don't try to set goals for the year, I guess, but just set them regardless of time frame. All in all, years are pretty arbitrary measuring sticks.
