Two months ago I went on leave of absence from school to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and work on getting there.
In the past two months I have:
1. Learned how to pay bills online.
2. Enrolled myself in a drawing class.
3. Set up a website with Host Gator.
4. Went through part of a web tutorial on NETTUT’s.
5. Went through several photoshop tutorials on Abduzeedo and PSDTUT’s.
6. Updated WordPress.
7. Written many post.
8. Replaced the exhaust pipe, spark plugs, adjusted intake and exhaust valve variances, and replaced an air filter on my car (with some help from my dad).
9. Did tons of paper work to try and get into schools and keep myself their when I get back from LOA.
10. Read two books: Sabriel and Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing.
11. Applied for 15 jobs that have yielded no jobs. And inquired about 10 more.
12. Taken my grandmothers shopping and ran errands for them.
13. Mowed my lawn 5 times or so.
14. Been on countless trips to the grocery store.
That’s what I have been doing. Here are my goals for the next two months:
1. Make a portfolio of art that will get me accepeted into another college.
2. Read three more books about investing/business. Read as many books as I want for pleasure.
3. Put another 30 hours into drawing to improve my skills.
4. Do another 10 photoshop tutorials.
5. Read more about / do more web layout.
6. Design a new layout for my site.
7. Get a job??? If it is possible — but honestly I am learning so much with out one right now.
8. Do more work on my car in order to learn more.
9. Take a trip to Philadelphia and Baltimore. Not on the same weekend like last week.
10. Cook dinner for my parents once a week to help out.
11. Run errand with my grandmothers.
12. Go to the grocery store countless times.
That seems like a list that I can accomplish realistically. Any suggestions?
