A major American city is being softly Pinocheted in broad daylight.

I’ve had some failures on big projects that I really focused hard on and for so long (like the Zholink mobile app), and then I’ve had problems focusing on things for a long time. There are so many things that I’ve wanted to do. I know there is a saying out there about how if you try to do too much you don’t do accomplish anything. Scatterbrained.
There’s the Warren Buffet prioritization method of listing 25 things you want to do and then only picking the top 5, and then eliminating the rest. That didn’t feel right to me.
Anyway, so I figure I have only 20 years left at most to accomplish the things I want to. Not all of them are goals. Some are about spending time wisely and enjoyment. I came up with an idea. Prioritize things as if I knew I were going to die x number of years from now: Start off with the idea of if I knew I was going to die 1 year from now, what things would I focus on? List them down. If I knew I was going to die 3 years from now, what would I focus on? Continue this with 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years.
This has helped me to prioritize things in order by how much they mean to me and what I could hope to accomplish within a limited time frame. I’ve realized that some of the things I’ve been doing currently don’t exactly fit within those priorities. The AI classes and certifications I’ve been taking? Well, they only fit in the 5 year context and beyond, not before. I want to do things that build upon each other, but that’s not easy when the things I want to do are so completely different from each other. At least now I have something to start with.
