Low risk, medium rewards: do more programming competitions. If anything, it reduces paralysis. Less paralysis is a good thing if I need to interview this year, though.
Medium risk, medium reward: deep diving further into the languages and paradigms I already use. Kotlin, Java, Android, MVVM, reactive programming, React programming, coroutines, CI/CD. Maybe even a layer down - things like camera, fonts, UI rendering. Not just what it can do but how it does it. Ideally learning enough that doing these things would be second nature. But is it good ROI with the economic situation? There's less need to hire the top 0.1%, I can sit happy at the top 1%.
High risk, high returns: Learn Ren'Py.
Non-technical: move in to a new place. Find a new school that doesn't kill the kids or kill my finances. That should be enough goal for one year.
