I don't have a whole lot of time today - it feels rare that I do these days if I'm being quite honest :) I'm not exactly sure I know what I want to write about. It's not like there isn't an abundance of things I could write about, it's quite the opposite. I find I have so many interests, that creating consistency is rather difficult when you want to do so much. This always gets me thinking about the famous Fig Tree quote by Sylvia Plath from the Bell Jar - is it what you decide that matters or that you decide? This is something that frequents my mind's watering hole.

For now though, it seems like open reflection and figuring out what I want to write about is what I want to write about :p

But seriously, as I'm writing now, I may as well enumerate the general topics that also frequent my mind's watering hole:

  1. Life and how to structure it
  2. How things work
    1. Software
    2. Houses
    3. Music
    4. Exercise
    5. Startups
    6. Businesses
    7. ... (I want to know how nearly everything works so this list is kind of infinite) ...
  3. How things could work (my dreams of technology's impact on the world)

I'm going to mull it over until this weekend, though I think I already realized what I'm going to write as a by-product of creating the aforementioned list.

First, I'm just going to write about my experiences in my pursuit of understanding everything I'm wanting to learn.

Second, I'm going to just pick up one my recent half-baked drafts and get it to the finish line.

Third, I want to formalize what my "goals" are for the year. Like last year, my goals don't have a particular framework - the main thing I'm looking for is change: in what I do every day and what I believe is possible. I have a few ideas bouncing around my head. Here's the vomit:

  1. Take ownership
  2. Write more about software
    1. Milestones: Write a blog post at least every other day even if it just says "hello world" - it counts :)
  3. Sing more
    1. Milestones: post some cover songs on soundcloud, even if you can't get all the notes right (which is undeniably true)
  4. Play guitar more
    1. Milestones: post some cover songs on youtube, even if you can't get all the notes right
  5. Take more pictures and post more
    1. I once heard a quote like "you'll never look as good as you do today when you're 80". I'd like to be able to look back on how I look over the years.

End vomit. I should proofread this post, but in the spirit of #movefast, I'll fix it later :)
