Mini Reconciliations

If you’re anything like me, you jump head first into new projects with barely take a second to register the transition.

I’m a constantly evolving product of evolution.

I can be an entrepreneur one month, a university student the next, a graduate employee the month after and a crypto investor the month after that.

In my mission to complete all the quests and side-quests that the world has to offer, i often over-extend myself.

I want to be a videographer.

I want to be a full-time investor.

I want to be a writer.

I want to be a digital nomad.

I want to live van-life.

I want to do more.

Problem is, i can’t do all these things at once, especially when i’m already so heavily involved in projects of my own.

Currently i have a grad position, work in a bar, run a clothing brand, write, invest and attempt to make videos. It’s too much for one person to do if i want to make any real progress in any specific area.

I’ve only myself to blame for this cross-eyed focus. I jump headlong in to any attractive opportunity, reasoning with myself that it will be beneficial either through experience or fiscal reward.

I’ve good intentions but bad execution.

Thinking about this today i thought about the idea of regular, consistent, personal, mini vacations.

Every 3 months you take 3 days to yourself.

No phone, no people, no nothing.

Just you out in nature with a pad and a pen, a laptop perhaps, and enough food and water to survive for 72 hours.

You could camp atop mountains, rent log cabins surrounded by serenity or take a trip to a new city.

The point is that you’re away from almost all commitments, all of your former life.

Before i continue writing on Medium, i need one of these.

I can’t imagine this was helpful for anyone and i don’t apologise for that either.

This is simply a reconstruction of my innermost thoughts, represented by pixels of black and white on your digital screen.

As Always,

Yours Honestly,

Commodore Pipas.
