From my end, I plan on the following:
1) Attend a few conferences (in-person and virtual)
2) Dive more into the world of AI.
3) Renew couple of my credentials which are due to expire of which one requires to re-sit for the exam to recertify.
4) Read few books related to interpersonal skills.
5) Attend a few webinars and seminars.
6) I might consider taking on 1 more credential but this is a "Could Have" item in my backlog right now.

1. More work travel (US and globally) 2. Earn more money via multiple income streams ( hopefully a raise with promotion at current job and/or through lucrative part-time work, see #5 below) 3. Taking 1 course/semester within the PM Post-Baccleaureate Certificate program at my university employer 4. Self-study to sit for (and pass) the PMP certification exam 5. Have more paid gigs for voice overs, administrative consultant work and more on Upwork.com 6. Attend/volunteer at some PMI seminars and webinars 7. Learn how to better articulate what PM is, it's value, and processes and procedures can be an asset to the field of study abroad, international education, and EdTech 8. Reducing work stress, giving myself more grace when I miss the mark, and being better about only working within the allotted time for work and not beyond for improved work-life balance 9. An official job title change to either Program/Project Manager or Associate Director with an adequately funded salary to match ​​​​​​

Seeking to earn an additional certification by PMI (perhaps PgMP), attend some in-person PMI events, expand my knowledge on natural language processing as well as explore application of AI tools to support some of my projects.

Great initiative, my friend, and all the best for you and your plans in 2024. You are a guiding north star for many professionals like myself; thanks for that.
Regarding my plans for 2024, here is my modest list:
1) Be a speaker at PMI's Global Summit in Berlin and attend a few conferences (in-person and virtual) 2) Become a "certified AI Transformation Lead (CAITL)" and develop our related company chapter in that regards 3) Become an ITIL Strategic Leader 4) Become a PgMP 5) Develop & release a Program Management & PgMP Training Program with a focus on practical application (together with my friends fro Alvision) 6) Renew a couple of my existing credentials 7) become an even more recognized Influence at Linkedin
and some further topics that are not that much prioritized.
BR,
Markus

As usual, I'll continue to read voraciously both in and outside of the PM domain. Last year I read a little over a dozen non-fiction business books and hope to do similar this year along with roughly double that number of fiction books.
Having completed Andy's AI course, I'll continue to use what I learned to further my knowledge of the more common tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Copilot) and their relevance to PM and non-PM assistance. I'm also looking to progressively integrate AI-related content into our PM courseware.
I've already got a couple of presentations booked and expect a few more once the PMI folks who manage the Chapter Speakers Hub finally get my profile posted!
And finally, I'm expecting the Risk Management Practice Guide to be released this year which might involve some more work on my part (I was part of the Review Team) and would hope to be part of the PMBOK Guide, Eight Edition review team (which would make it the third straight edition of that Guide I'd have been a part of).
