3 things

A good friend has taken to asking people on their birthdays as to the 3 things they would like to do over the course of the next year. I thought it was a good idea, and would be good to put it on record.

So 3 things -

1. Work more intensely 
 Not in terms of time spent, but with high productivity. Once of the hardest things to do as a self employed person is to have a cut-off. It is so easy to keep working all day and then work becomes life. I need clearly defined baskets within which I work with full intensity on 1 thing.. I am starting to experiment with a bunch of ideas toward this goal, will keep a note of it here. 

2. Explore more
  Seek out new experiences. In terms of taking risks, travelling, exposing myself to new things that I am not fully comfortable with.. 
  One of the big advantages of being on your own is the freedom and ability to explore, so I ll actively seek out more adventure this year. If not now, then when? 

3. Be nice (as opposed to "dont be evil")
  I am not an evil megalomaniac, but I am not naturally a very empathetic person either. I have been thinking it is something worth cultivating.. So I will actively try to be nice to people this year, instead of passively trying to make sure i am not being troublesome.

Couldn't agree more with the first comment. Would love to hear how you plan to go about that :).

bunch of ideas.. starting with meditation, playing with time and cutoff (like pomodoro technique) to create flow and blocking off communication for periods..
