Well it has been a awhile since I have updated, and it isn’t because I have actually died, but I have just been busy living life! But that doesn’t mean this topic of living like I am dying hasn’t been on my mind. When choosing to spend time doing something or planning something ahead (even those activities past November) I have wondered to myself “Is this something I would do if I am actually dying?” If that answer is a yes, it is pretty easy to make that decision.
Some examples are a recent euchre tournament I participated in at my Aunt’s. Got to spend some good quality time with family, and some of their friends. Although I was soundly defeated at rank eight of twelve participants, it is a bit easier to forgo my competitiveness and just enjoy the moments. I have also made plans to visit my friend in Ohio in November and to watch the Trans Siberian Orchestra this December with my parents. I have also spent some time just chillin’ playing video games so I am not without an excuse as to not doing an update on this blog. Continue reading
Continuing with this month’s theme of living like I were to die at the end of the month, I think it is important to try to setup your significant other for success. And this leads me to think about automation and streamlining processes to help them.
Here we are on the eighth day of October already, 23 days remaining in this hypothetical scenario. So back to some deep thoughts as to how to handle these final days. Today I am thinking about outsourcing tasks. You may wonder why I would outsource if I choose to
So if you were dying, who would you tell? Do you really want everyone to know that you will be dying or do you just want to spend time with everyone as you normally would? It is not like I would go down the street and just be like, “Hi! I’m dying!”. But where do you draw the line? Would you tell everyone who you know, announce it on facebook, twitter, your blog, or whatever else?
Originally I had intended to post every day throughout this month. But I ended up not logging into the blog over the weekend. It was nice just to spend time with my wife and enjoy our town’s festival which was going on that weekend in celebration of… red underwear… Not sure why they ever choose that, but I won’t say what they actually call it or it would be pretty easy to see what town I live in.
Being so busy with
In day one I talked about what how I believe I would take 
We all know that there is only so much time in a day and because work takes up so much of your waking hours, we have to prioritize which activities we choose to do and which ones we choose not to do. For some reason… I feel like right now I just don’t have enough time. Maybe I am sleeping too much, maybe I can improve in some ways much more than I currently have, but I just feel like there is not enough time to do what I want to do while working full time. And until that full-time job situation is taken care of through financial independence I have to look at what it is I spend my time on and really how much time do I actually spend not just doing the activity itself, but the entire process of time I take in preparation or after the activity. So really I need to take a hard look at myself and ask
