A rather late congratulations! This heading hit me “Start With What You Don’t Want”, I heard someone else tell me to “write down what I can’t not do”. I thought it was a confusing double negative at first but it makes sense.

I’m with Nick on the World Peace and Piles of Money!

I have the exact same problem as you; too many exciting things to do and not enough time/energy for all of them! With TV shows, I’m tending to find a few series which I *really* love to watch, rather than using TV as procrastination. (Why, I have the entire internet for procrastinating purposes… )

The mini-me might be a while off yet! But I sincerely hope I’ll still be writing here on Aliventures in a few years’ time…

The thing you say about “is there anything on TV?”, well I don’t remember when was the last time when I sat down to watch TV. My challenge now is not in figuring out what I want, but in choosing which to do first from all the things that I want (e.g write blog posts, read the feed, practice music, record songs, learn software, etc.) But it’s good to know all these things that I want lead to one purpose.

Cheers for the article, and good luck designing your dream wedding. Look forward to pictures and the future mini-you.

(Dianne, please do feel free to leave a link — I’ve no worries about topic — the feature’s there to be used! And, although I don’t write explicitly about Christianity on Aliventures, it’s fundamental to my own thinking and world view, so you’re less off-topic than you think..!)

(We’re using Google Wave to keep our wedding plans all in one place… it was Paul’s idea…)

Regarding getting more organised: perhaps you could look at the areas where you’re having the most problems? I used to find myself forgetting meetings (church ones, not business ones) until I found a way to keep my daily to-do list and my daily diary integrated.

Nick, blogging = good! And probably ties several of those goals together. You could even put up one of those “buy me a beer” donation buttons…

Dave, I am completely with you on not ALL passions having a market. (Actually, I wrote on that very issue: http://www.aliventures.com/passionately-broke/) Being a caver is one I’ve not come across before! When I was a chubby schoolkid on some form of outdoorsy trip, I got stuck in a narrow bit of cave once… I wiggled through in the end… Can you do something like guided tours? Teaching caving/potholing?

Alternatively, you might just want to figure out a bearable way to make a reasonable amount of money in not too much time, and just spend your free time caving!
