Setting new year goals, for me, is not about achieving everything. It is about having a north star for my day to day, pointing at what I actually want and cutting down the distractions.

Here are mine for this year.

**Improve the HTML parsing: Nami**

Carrying on from last year. I am building a browser from scratch in Rust (or trying to), and it has been a real challenge. This year I want to keep working through HTML parsing following the spec, and polish a few things.

**3000 minutes of meditation**

I made it in 2024 and I want to keep it this year. I have meditated since 2020 using Headspace, and I want to deepen the practice with more of the intensive courses in the app. Mindfulness is incredible.

**Publish regularly on Nomadz**

My focus this year is not subscriber count, it is consistency. In 2023 I created my community for backpacking digital nomads. Plenty of people joined the Discord for free, I recorded two long classes and posted some free material.

**Librium MVP**

Last year I got some of the book scripts further along. I hope to push it far enough to launch the MVP this year: my reading social network.

**25 books**

I hit it last year, but only just. Keeping the same target.

**A trip to Japan**

My Japanese moved forward too. I read Hiragana well now, and it is time to practise in the land of the rising sun. I am really looking forward to this one.

**Jump from a helicopter**

I reached Category B in skydiving in 2024. Travelling makes it hard to find drop zones that take beginners, but bit by bit I completed the 50 jumps and the required exam. Now I can do things like jump from a helicopter and mount a camera on my helmet.

**Learn tracking, sit fly and back fly**

And of course I want to keep progressing in the sport and fly better by learning other techniques.

**Gold in LoL** *(secret)*

It costs nothing to dream, and I take this little game quite seriously.

**Tomorrowland 2025**

In 2024 this was a goal achieved. Now it is a tradition: go to that incredible festival in Belgium every year.

Let's see how many of these I get.

I hope you land yours too. Happy 2025.
