This is an old revision of the document!


There's so many projects, interests and activities I want to pursue, but their number and individual complexity has reached the point where I can't pursue all of them simply because I don't have enough time in each day to do so. Prioritizing is difficult because I am interested in all of them.

Lately this has lead to each day consisting of rapid switches between various things I want to pursue, making little progress on any of them. Work taking up the bulk of my time pushes project pursuits into the gutter of the day, where they then compete for my time with errands, finance management, interpersonal relationships, and personal hygiene. A younger me prioritized projects over all those things. This is evident in my Github history since most of my projects from that time were software projects. I remember that period as one of the most productive times of my life.

Now I am a much more balanced and well rounded person, but my creative pursuits have suffered. You can't read a book and write one at the same time.

The obvious solution is to get so rich I don't have to work anymore, and then I can spend the bulk of each day working on things I want to pursue. But this is easier said than done.

I considered listing out the projects here in some kind of perverse flex, but that is best reserved for my personal notes.
