My plans for the summer include 1) achieving quantifiable goals 2) cultivating idleness. Somewhere in the clusterfuck that was this school year, I got kind of disorganized in the way I proceed with my days. Also, my idle time was mostly spent furiously writing and trying not to lose my mind rather than botting and doing hobbies I like.
Now that my mind is substantially found, and that I’m generally in a sunnier place, I’m able to look past the one-week-at-a-time mentality. I want to further decorate my house and get a rescue dog. I also want to have 3 stories at the end of the summer that I’m proud of (2 news and a revision). I also want to do some severely eccentric things that have no quantifiable output value aside from humor. These ideas include writing songs for the recorder, dressing my new dog up in ludicrous outfits (bumblebee, hippo, shark?), and making a faux after school special with J. Scott et. al. about the intimate relationship between Sonic and disordered eating. Gold. Also, I want to have nonfiction dates with CXO, which will most likely be a pleasant cauldron of Malbec, the theater of the absurd, and yes children, real value.
I’m using this thing for help with some of the more concrete things:
My new favorite lady-Greensborgian, Hope, introduced me to GTD and it’s a pretty useful system.
Dubya dubya out.
