My new year’s resolution is to increase my study times and study harder for my entrance exams. I will use Dynalist to take my study notes! I find the tree-like outlining system to be just perfect for my note-taking!

My New years resolution is focus to use one task project and outline system and do the right projects for work and with my own business this year.

I think Dynalist has the Power to help me to focus on my Areas for my projects in the right moment and right place.

My resolution is to spend less time planning and more time doing. I want to give up on perfection and actually start doing stuff. I want to live mindfully and make the most of every day. As a new user, I hold high hopes that Dynalist can help me clear the clutter from my mind and help me find my way.

I know it’s pretty classic, but I realized near the end of the year that most of my personal inertia came from this fear of failure despite a powerful desire to do something with this life. I’m growing old, but the discontent with living remains still. I hope that this awareness moves me to action.

My new year’s resolution 2018

  • Do a full gymnast L-Sit spent 4 months trying this, cannot do yet /r/bodyweightfitness :muscle:
  • Do a full unassisted pullup wide grip
  • Do a full pistol squat
  • Do a skin-the-cat row pull
  • Do an unassisted handstand may not happen this year
  • Finish freecodecamp frontend certification things + possibly more of it down the road
  • Build a todo-mvc app on watchandcode.com About 40% done
  • Rebuild blog again by learning writing a custom underscores wordpress theme. Alternative is to build my own jekyll blog from scratch
  • Possibly build a NAND2tetris app and finish CS50 to learn basic comp sci + potentially more indepth courses (design patterns, data structs). Teachyourselfcs.com if I finish some things early.
  • Finish some other courses (few from “You don’t know JS like ASYNC”) to have so I can have a better depth of frontend tech (HTML/CS / JS)
  • Learn React and NodeJS and build a test app from it. Other libraries as needed
  • Write more expressive code using airbnb javascript styleguides
  • Haven’t really put too much thought on personal projects, I did want to use dynalist API to make a table-of-contents scroller though. From there who knows ÂŻ\(ツ)/ÂŻ
  • I need to build more meaning connections to friends / family and meet more people. I have a non existent social life atm partially when i stopped Jiu Jitsu training, work and hobbies too time consuming
  • Other Maybes, possibly not-goals (Learn Vagrant + linux + php + lamp stack, make some money on cryptocurrency exchanges, learning PHP in greater detail / laravel, picking up haskell / learning more python, making some python projects on the side, Possibly make youtube tech tutorials, if only my annoying smoke alarm would stop beeping (it requires a scissor lift to acccess) and also people tell me i have a stoner voice so that doesn’t help).
  • Learn the ukelele (I have one coming next week~!)
  • Finish 2 work project website stuff
  • Buy an olympic bar and a power-rack, I need a bigger home gym
  • Habit: Post a blog about something at least once every 2 weeks, probably Saturday morning

I have this set on tabsnooze to see if I accomplish any of this next year. Also I put my workout routines on hold since I pulled a neck muscle, had bad form and lifted too much in cold weather.

Like other people here I am self-teaching to code, I am using Dynalist mainly to manage my notes and code projects, journaling and to be honest to store almost everything that can be stored as a list.

This year I want to finish freeCodeCamp, but a bigger project I want to work on is…facing fears. Big and small, I wrote a list of things I don’t feel comfortable doing or just want to avoid, I think it will be help me a lot so I am planning to do those one at a time while documenting the experience with the usual bullet points.

I am also writing a kind of manual chatbot taking advantage of the zoom feature and nested lists, not the best achievement for a coder but it works :smile:

My new year’s resolution is to complete a quiz for job. That’s really important to me.

I use Dynalist to take my study notes. I feel the tree-like mode to be just perfect for my note-taking.

I also use Dynalist to manage my life on all aspects. I set an inbox to collect everything I need, and then rearrange/assign to different lists. That’s very helpful to me.

I’m using Dynalist with a friend to meet a 2018 goal of capturing and writing about our ideas and experiences on being a better dad. We hope to use the outlines we’re creating to launch a blog to do just that.

#79

Share your podcast name/link maybe? :smiley:

My New Year’s resolution is to use Dynalist systematically to get a good overview on all my projects, writing, organizing, studying and teaching. Break the bigger tasks into small chunks, and do one thing at the time. Prioritize, and carve out time for the Most Important Task everyday.

Thank you for creating such a great application that I use daily!
