The 6 Things. Finally.

by Brian Carl on February 25, 2010

Finally, the list will be revealed.

Before you read it, I want to explain my reasoning for choosing these goals (You can scroll down if you don’t care).

There are a lot of things that I want to do and narrowing the focus down has been hard.

One thing that’s helped is creating a bucket list. This put a lot of the things in perspective. I decided that none of the changes are going to help me professionally and all of them will be designed to help me enjoy life more instead.

I don’t mean this to sound like I don’t like my job or that I don’t want to excel at it. I enjoy it, however at this point I am much better at my job than I am at my life. Also jobs will change over time and creating habits for a healthier body and mind will always be important no matter where life takes me.

The other thing I noticed as I went through my bucket list, I want to spend more time on experiences. It’s so easy to go through life just working and watching TV and continue doing the same thing every day and I want to make avoid this whenever possible. Everyone needs a health balance of the comfortable and the new.

So without further ado:

  1. Get in better Shape. (workout on a regular basis)
  2. Begin carrying a notebook with me wherever I go and documenting experiences, ideas, and goals.
  3. Begin writing on a daily basis
  4. Start doing something entirely new as often as possible
  5. Write a short story
  6. Promote my work (video & writing)

Now some of these might not make sense right away, but all of them will be explained in detail.

The promoting my work can be seen as a professional goal, however I don’t see it that way. I don’t ever intend on making a living off of my creative works, but I still want others to see them and (hopefully) enjoy them.

So there it is, the list is written down and I intend on keeping to it.
