What Have I Put Off?
For a long time, I said I was going to get in touch with old friends. Not just through Facebook either. I was going to try and see at least one old friend every 6 months. I can’t make any excuses why I have not done it. I guess I didn’t make it a priority.
It took me almost 25 years to go from undergraduate to graduate school. I said I was going to learn a foreign language, still haven’t started that. I was going to get a math degree or at least teach myself higher level math. I have the material, just haven’t made the time. I purchased a year subscription to the Great Courses. Still waiting to start one. I made a bucket list a few years ago, have only scratched off one.
As you can see, I have intensions but don’t put in the time. I listen to a lot of podcasts and audio books as well as hardcopy books. I have 3 magazines I read cover to cover. It is not like I waste time in front of the tv.
I do have a hard time defining what I really want to do. Is the bucket list really important? So far, I would say no. Getting smarter through online courses, not yet.
I spent a good bit of money setting up a couple of websites that I thought I wanted, but I let both go away. The initial enthusiasm was there but not the day in and day out execution.
I have been consistent with my blog. It is a challenge I want to complete. It will be the one project I took from concept to the initial goal. I am almost halfway through with it. Once I am done I will be able to say to myself I didn’t put that off. It should give me the push to start and finish other goals. Will see how that turns out.
