No "New Year's Resolutions" exactly, but I have a couple of lists to try and whittle down. There's the generic "stuff to learn" list, a "stuff to build" (personal projects, experiments, random stuff I'm interested in, etc.) list, and then product specific TODO lists.
But the closest thing to a traditional "New Year's Resolution" would just be that I'm dedicating this phrase as my mantra for 2018:
"Ship It"
That's it.. just fucking SHIP stuff. 2017 was a good year in terms of getting a lot of stuff almost done, now 2018 is the year to actually ship stuff.

How will you be profitable or earn money as these tools are open source. May I know?
It's two-fold. One, we'll be offering hosted versions of our projects as SaaS applications. For customers who want to deploy on-premise or in a private cloud environment, we'll offer subscriptions - similar to the way Red Hat sell RHEL.

agreed. that's the equivalent of doing work for free when it should be a business transaction. so, tech-related new years resolution number one: learn to say no in as diplomatic a way as possible.
Clean up digital storage and finally start backing stuff up.
Chose services that protect privacy.

We have got good traction on trade simulator in 2017. Now target is to make it 10x in the coming year.
