You know what the most frustrating part of turning 40 is for me? Not having enough time to do the things I want to, and not being sure why I don't. I've got lots of time, but I just can't fit things together, which is doubly annoying because I'm a great time-manager when it comes to work. I just can't work my leisure time like that because, well, it becomes work.
Here's a list of things I want to do, in no particular order:
- Read more
- Watch more movies
- Get out more
- Set up a server
- Learn Linux like the back of my hand
- Get my 'official' website up and ready
- Learn PHP 'my way' so I can use it
- Read more (yes, I know...)
- Take a nice long walk every night after work
- See my friends more often (which would start with actually seeing them)
- Get back into photography
- Re-learn how to play bass
- Re-learn how to draw, thanks to my arthritis changing the way my hands work
- Write more
- Re-learn Java
- Learn Ruby on Rails
- Learn Python
- Cook
- Build a new hardcore PC
Yes, I know the answer is "prioritize", but really, how do you prioritize that?
Okay, yes, getting out for walks/exercising1 should be number one. Thank you, gentle-reader.
After that, though? No clue. See, I could build the PC, use it as a Linux box, and run a virtual server from it, but that presents even more issues.
Gah.

1 I'm reminded of an old TV show called Shadow Chasers, I believe, and a character who was an Aerobic Exorcist. Not sure why I thought of this.
Time management?! I can't do that! I don't have enough time!
ReplyDeleteThings I want to do:
- Read more
- Get out more
- Improve my Linux skills
- Exercise (I think I need more than a 30-40 minute walk during my lunch break)
- Re-learn how to draw, (in my case because of a broken wrist) (>.<)
- Improve writing skills
- Cook (actually, I don't really want to cook but eating out is a pain in the wallet and the gut)
Gah, indeed.
Dude, you haven't even hit 25 yet. Talk to me in 16 years.
