Do more list

I like lists. I use them a lot to organize my brain. This list is goin to be things I want to do and going to try to do in order to get me out of my current rut.

-force myself out of the house more. As in not just going to work or the store but actually going outside on a nice day for the purpose of enjoying the nice day. I succeeded so far today, though the original purpose was to go to the bank, I kept riding my bike and stopped for an iced coffee to enjoy outside. I need to take more mini adventures like this. 

-write more. Holding things inside isn't healthy. Getting thoughts out of my head, regardless if anyone reads it, is therapeutic. I feel a lot better after my last post but there's still a ways to go. I also need to start writing down my random thoughts of inspiration. They don't always come at a time that is convenient to sit and write but I just downloaded the blogger app on my phone for my on-the-go thoughts. Still requires some sitting down but its handy when I don't have paper and pen since I always have my phone. 

-art more. Hopefully writing more will lead to some artful inspiration that will eventually take a physical form. 

-be a better friend. I'm not very good at keeping in touch with people. Especially if they aren't making much of an effort either. But I did go into hiding when I started dating my girlfriend and neglected the outside world a bit. I've also turned down invites from coworkers for after work drinks just to go home an zone in front of the tv. Lame. And I really need to fill my life with more fun, positive and creative types again. 

-plan some mini and not so mini adventures. Again, getting myself out of the house on a nice day but also planning day trips or weekend excursions to see new things or old friends.

-Set up a better office space to work.  I need a new desk and to throw out (or organize into a file cabinet) a bunch of old bills and other paper stuffs. And get a new desk chair thats comfy. Having a more inviting workspace will make it more pleasurable to actually do some work. I'm also considering selling my Mac Pro tower and just hooking up the laptop with the big screen and external harddrive. But now that the fancy new macs are completely redesigned, I don't think my ginormous tower is going to be worth much any more. ...But this leads to...

-Get rid of clutter. I have things i don't use or need and i might as well try to sell them off to make a little extra money.
