The First Day of being Unemployed

Today is my first day of being unemployed. Well, it is voluntary unemployment, as I want to try free-lance work, and give myself the time to explore other adventures, interests, and full-time opportunities that are different from my previous software jobs.

Feeling lazy and lenient of myself today. This is my day so far:

- woke up at 8:30

- jogged from 9:00 to 10:00, which I'm proud of

- had breakfast

- read Shakespeare for an hour

- took my car for an oil-change (9 minutes only!)

- had lunch

- met Adrian and Valerie at Stanford to discuss the SMS project from 2:00pm to 4:00pm

- surfed the web for the next 2 hours. I need to find a personal project management tool to manage my free-lance project.

Still lots of love-to-dos, want-to-dos, and should-dos in my head, which leave me anxious and overwhelmed and often not knowing what to do next. I should pace myself, and learn to organize my unemployed/freelance life. Good luck!

What the heck, these are my love-to, want-to, and should-dos, since I haven't found a good way to keep track of lists.

Love-to-dos:

* go rock climbing

Want-to-dos:

* clean up my desk, my house

Should-dos:

* start on the Stanford project

* get a booklet to track my mileage to/from clients

* create a folder to organize all paperwork/receipts for the Stanford project

Btw, I love listing things, which annoys Roy.
