Day 24: 5 lists I’m using to plan my life (career navigation version)
1, The Wish List:
In 10 years’ time, what do you want to accomplish? What’s your ideal lifestyle like? A few from me:
MỞ to become a sustainable business.
Publish a memoir.
Travel to a new country for at least 2 weeks, twice a year. (when you have a family, make it once a year. But do 1 month.)
Meet cool people. Loads of them. Make sure you meet a new, cool person every week. Never miss for a year (2023).
Financially Free (always have an emergency fund for at least 1 year of life without any income)
Always have time and money for cool stuff (mostly arts).
Oh, healthy. Please be healthy.
