Happy New Year to all my Steem friends.

Here's hoping your New Year is starting on the right foot, and not like this poor sod...

New Year's Resolutions?

New Year's is a natural time for introspection, for thought about the year that's gone by, the year to come, and maybe a little goal-setting. To be honest, I don't recall ever really setting New Year's resolutions. I tend to think about what processes are likely to create the results I would like to see, then set process goals and let the results take care of themselves. Is that a New Year's resolution? I suppose if I set a new process goal at the New Year it becomes a New Year's resolution.

So my resolution for the new year is to follow @jongolson's 5, 500, 5000 plan. That means five meaningful interactions per day for the process goal. I think I can handle that.

The 500 is followers, which is a results goal. I sort of blew through that this year, but it's all trickle-over from the work I did creating Steem Basic Income. I'd like to have a few more followers that I can actually interact with and deepen my Steem friendships.

Finally, the 5000 is SP. I'm nowhere near that in my own accounts, so that's my big reach. A separate process goal to support that would be to post at least once per week on my own account. Since my goal to post every day on the SBI account impacts a lot more people, that will be my first priority. After that, we'll see how things go. I do want to do a series on witnesses, at the very least.

So... 5, 500, 5000. I think I can do it, and so can you.

Who Should I Follow?

I have noticed as I go about my Steem work that my feed is a lot less interesting than the feeds for @steembasicincome and @thedailysneak. Obviously that means I need to put a little more work into curating my own feed!

Who are your top three follows that you would recommend, and why?
