Today I’m contemplating goals. Charting a course is tricky, when my interests lie all over the map. Sometimes it seems like I’m sailing around in circles.
But I’ve arrived at a few conclusions:
I want a work environment that allows me to have a higher degree of autonomy and authority. I don’t often get a chance to delegate tasks or instruct others, and I’d like more opportunities to be a leader.
I’d like to use a greater range of my skill-set (including web design, social media marketing, and writing) during the workday, instead of mostly on side-projects or experiments during free time.
Of course, I’d like to earn a lot more money. It’d also be great to have an office someday, or at least a quieter and more private environment.
I might need to move to a different town, or consider a longer commute, since the job market here is limited.
I will continue expanding my general knowledge while figuring out which paths are worth exploring further. Although I’m interested in everything from webpage layout strategy to establishing a sense of community for a brand, I’ve been narrowing it down to a few topics to focus on at a time.
Hmm. I tend to live in the present, so coming up with ideas for what I want my life to be, and planning for how to get there, requires shifting my brain into a forward-thinking mode that I need to use more often. In the future.
