Open questions for 2024

Writing out my worries and wishes as open questions for the year had always been therapeutic first, clarifying second. Are the worries justified, or dumb? Are my wishes realistic, or overblown? Writing it down now and re-looking at it throughout and at the end of the year helps me find some answers. That’s the good thing about framing worries and wishes as questions – it prompts reflection, tends to stay relevant longer.

So… My open questions for 2024:

Survive: Will I get to continue indie hacking, or will I be forced to get a job? This is probably the most nagging worry at this point. Every time I think do an writing exericise about the year—my word for the year, 8 forms of capital, and now this open questions—I’m confronted by the blaring alarm of survival. This will be the keystone to how my 2024 pans out.

Products: Will I ship new products? Will I commit to my 365 days of code commits? How many will actually make money?

Revenue: Will I ever hit $10k ramen profitability? When will that happen?

Stress: Can I keep stress and anxiety in check enough for me to continue hustling, instead of being debilitated by it?

Family: How do I be more present as son, husband, father?

Travel: When will I travel again?

Now, onwards.
