Busy day ahead.

Finally. Well, I left my desk and the bookshelf unatttended, but as it is already late and it will just have to wait. What I am going to do now is play a game. Tomorrow will be a busy day. After I've taken Leo to the daycare, I'll have to walk to the town to visit the pharmacy and go buy some food. Then when I get back I need to finish my chores, namely clean up the desk, the shelf and some more dishes.

I visited Reddit today and I went through the r/GetMotivated subreddit and found a cool Wolf sticker poster and a really inspiring Web 2.0 talk by Gary Veynerchuck:



Damn! I say. Just, Damn! That's some inspiring shit. So I wrote this post describing my goals in life. It's something I want... really really want to do.

I'll just copy the message here:

I'm 34. This is going to be one tough challenge. As you see I like a certain game.


[goals] short term:

• do the dishes
• finish vacuuming (started yesterday)
• clean desk
• arrange books in the bookshelf
• play a game or two of Go on KGS
• upload pictures for a course I found on r/photoit
• design a goban on Blender
• blog about it

little longer term:

• prepare a room for the kid
• build window sils for all our windows
• buy a lot of new pots
• trim cut and re-pot my crassulas and cuttings
• become shodan in Go
• learn carpentry
• build a goban for the kid, and another for me (learning process)
• teach kid Go
• blog about it

long term:

• get work
• save money
• set up a Go-café

Impossible?

I think I have a plan.

Thanks. See ya all soon! ^^

Still slacking. Why?

Ok, I failed to fully execute my to-do list yesterday. I managed to do the dishes and clean up the floors from those toys. I even vacuumed around the apartment. But I fell behind in my schedule so I had to stop mid-way to pick up Leo from the daycare and go buy some groceries. Then had some dinner, spent some time with him, and eventually put him in bed and read bed time stories. After that I couldn't vacuum anymore, so I played a couple of games of Go instead and managed to forget to fill out the course applications. I will have to do those today. Additionally I found some more bills I have to pay today. So the today's list would be as follows:

• vacuum the rest of the floors
• fill out the applications
• pay the bills
• clean up desk
• do the dishes, again
• maybe arrange the books in the bookshelf

I hope I succeed better today.

See ya soon! ^^

A journal to Start.

Hi! I am an unemployed father of a four year old, who has recently decided there must come an end to doing nothing sooner or later, preferably sooner. This is my public journal.

A journal to start anew, to stop slacking and get away from the do-nothingness in my life.
