My four week plan.
I’m really enjoying my stay in Melbourne a lot, and it has given me quite a lot of time to consider where I want to go in the future, and what I want to achieve during the remainder of my stay here. My good friend Dave with whom I am staying at the moment informed me that he is going to move in a little over a month – giving me around four weeks to make some headway into my future here.
Four weeks. It’s not a terribly large amount of time to get everything done, but if I don’t get distracted (much like I am now, sitting in a cafe in Brunswick St) it is certainly workable.
So, here’s my plan for the next month.
- Celebrate the launch of MatchTag – This is, without a doubt, the most important goal for my stay here. It’s funny how web development always seems to be plagued with problems – either everyone is working hard, or no one is working at all! I’m really looking forward to making some progress on this goal… hell, I get excited just thinking about it.
- Taxes – I need an accountant, badly. My taxes are like a bad feeling that sits in the back of my mind. It’s high time I just manned up and sorted them out once and for all. If anyone can recommend a reliable, intelligent accountant I would be most appreciative.
- Fitness – I joined a local gym yesterday and started training right away. It’s been months since I trained hard, and as a result I’ve lost a large amount of my muscle mass, but that’s just part of the process. I figure that in 4 weeks I can reach 68kg with 8-10% bodyfat pretty easily, which is a good spot for my body type.
- Plan the months ahead – Travelling is top priority on my list, and I can’t wait to start moving around, hopefully to Vancouver once our work on MatchTag comes to fruition. By the end of this month I will know where I’m going for the next 3 months.
This list is (obviously) for my own benefit. I find that I have a tendency to follow through on things if I have them in writing, and what better place to write things like this than my own blog!
Before I forget, I now have a myspace account! Feel free to add me as a friend as I have only a few at the moment. :) Finally, anyone in the Melbourne area, drop me a line if you’d like to catch up for a drink sometime. I’m always keen to meet new people in the industry, or just cool people in general.
