Oct. 28th, 2010 08:28 amHitting a point where I've got a laundry list of things I need and want to get done, and the job's finally getting in the way energy-wise.
- Investigate the Antarctica angle properly
- Get this wrist-thing sorted and then
- Get started on the fitness regimen
- Get kettlebells
- Sign on with St John's
- Take the first aid course
- Investigate and schedule the rest of the first aid stuff
- Get a driver's license
- Plan trip home for Christmas
- Finish the book
- Complete all the remaining travel articles
- Research and plan the next trip to wherever
- Look into the possibility of traveling to Antarctica via a grant
- Work on some stuff for friends
- Catch up with people
- Narrow down the NGOs I'd be interested in working for and working out what skills I'm capable of acquiring that are relevant
- Calendar out cons and festivals worldwide
Fully fifty percent of my plans are going to fall by the wayside, that's inevitable. It's really a case of asking myself how far I can realistically take a given thing. In the end it may come down to the first plan: go places and write. Which is fine so long as I can get more than one article sold a month in order to maintain a profile.
- Go through Writers' Market and list everywhere that might pay for something I've written
- Write those articles
- Submit them.
- Chase places that have already bought articles for payment.
- Get better camera gear (and laptop with a better screen because Christ the shots look different at decent res.)
- Get to Couchsurfing meets at least once a month.
I know I'm forgetting something.
