Projects
1. Accomplishable, more ambitious than previous one.
+10 if completed
- 5 if same level as previous
- 10 if less than previous
Time / effort are not metrics
Quality, ambition, completion are goals.
OK to slip, as long as I enjoyed thoroughly. Even abondonement ok, but with learnings.
2. Track
As many open projects ok. But less preferable.
Measure progress points of life.
Main project
Design
Brain research
Cooking
Digital drawing
watercolor
Blogs
Book
Web based tracking - Blogger !!
There are hobbies and there are jobs /missions.
Hobby is an activity I do to enjoy spare time
Job / Mission is activity that I do for a goal. Goals which are important to me.
accomplished Goals give happiness even if the activities don't.
So Hobbies - enjoy to max while producing some tangible results. Pleasure in doing it. (more process pleasure than target pride)
Job - Results provide the pleasure. Though process is also important. (More target happiness than process bliss).
While it is good to have hobbies to fill in the "blanks", it is the jobs that impact life positively or negatively.
1000 hobbies would not solve my job problems. Best way is to identify a alternative job. Though transition time could be long.
In that sense what could I be doing in five years (different from the jobs). Once upon a time I thought if I have enough money and time I would easily get into the ideal life. But now I have a new want, 'luck'. One needs luck, money and time to get into an ideal situation.
Now what could be my alternative business .... A painter ? a Cook? a writer ? a thinker ? designer ? Brain researcher ? Business man? cribber ? loser ? or something more exotic
It is not a specific role / kind I want to be. It is to identify a real alternative to job.
The idea is to find something that can be started at a lower level (no earning) but subsequently raised to earning level and then expertise level. Every role would have trouble. Either in form of getting certifications or huge amount of time to master the skills.
Some are outright no no s. let us see
Design Possible
Brain research Unlikely
Cooking Unlikely
Digital drawing Unlikely
watercolor Unlikely
Blogs possible (ideas)
Book Possible
though writing a book is not a easy thing.( There are so many competitors and difficult to find a recurring business. ) again and again this seems to be the idea.
