plan

I’ve been using my diary and I even did a mind map yesterday whilst at church so that I could think about my day ahead today.

It’s imperitive that I plan so that I can make proper forecasts and work towards a goal in mind.

I’m teaching so that I can eventually build up my studens and make money from ten students a week, which should make me more than enough to save every month.

Eventually I want to have 4,000 pounds (British, which equals $8000 in American dollers roughly). To do this by 2008 I need to save and have a more active career.

My diary is now a very important thing to balance, now that I’m a private teacher whilst also working a daily job. I’m also going to explore ways into selling things online, and making money with eBay, etc. My main goal is to use all these things on my goal list, to make me completely and utterly financially independent.

I have a day on which I’m completely a teacher, and other days, I work as a member of admin staff. I’ll also be getting my TEFL soon, and that means I’ll be a fully operational teacher.

Working my diary with goals has made this dream possible for me, and even going to church and praying for it has made a difference I feel.

Very soon, I’ll be working in an office, and if I pass the internship, I’ll be able to get paid for doing a simple job I could do with them. I don’t know though. I enjoy teaching more.

I sent off my IPod for the refund, and hopefully I’ll get the money in my account as soon as the technician recieves it. It’ll mean that I can get out of my overdraft a little, and it’ll also mean that I can get back on track with things.

I’m thinking about getting a job. I would like to earn money of my own. I think it’d be exciting and a good way to meet people. It’s not really about the money, as I’ve managed fine two years without working in a job, but I’ll do my best to enjoy myself.

I did most of the things that I’ve stipulated in my to do list, in my diary, which I’m pleased about. It means that I can tick off a few things.

I managed a great mind map today, and whilst listening to a biography that I have wanted to read for ages (The Lady Elizabeth) I cleaned around my room after I made the diary mind map which thenceforth made me feel more in control of things in the house. I have several things that I want to accomplish, along with my A Level in English Literature and Langauge, and I need to be mindful of it. I’ve been in contact with my tutor and we’ve arranged that I should come home in January and June for two sets of exams each time. After this I will not attempt to sit exams in the UK, as the whole process is too painful, when it comes to having to literally drag myself to England for some snotty exams, which will enable me to go into University.

I’ve been writing in the diary, and making pictorial notes. I plan on doing a few things, and I’m quite happy doing this in a way that I won’t forget by doing them on paper before I committ them into my life. It’s almost like casting a spell in a way… I want to make these things happen.

I have to think carefully about the things that i do want though. Sometimes you wish for things into your life and they’re not really what you want. It is very theraputic having a diary to look back to though.

Ideally I should get round to organising the last year or two into monthly PDF’s. I want a camera as soon as I can afford one because the one that I have at the moment is just a trumped up camera phone.

I’d be lost if I didn’t have my diary to write into.

Indeed, I surprise myself with the amount of honesty I can give myself with a diary. It is very theraputic.

I need to make a mind map for tomorrow. it’s been an all nighter, but I’ll be damned if I don’t do what I want to do tomorrow. I’m a stronger person than eople give me credit for. I’ll cope very well.

Well I have to say, I think that my diary looks Marvellous, which is why I gave it the grand title, with a capital M.

I have a pen drive, and I’ve been taking pictures and writing daily. I’ve been doing mind maps and drawing pictures of things.

I’ve been reading a lot about self-help techniques that can make a huge impact. At first, I have to admit, I was rather sceptical, because my first attempts were awful, but as time goes on, they’re getting better.

I have so many books I am working through at the moment, and interesting texts that I am DEVOURING.

Oh, my diary system works, and it’s making my life so much better.

It’s not about ‘getting as much done in as little possible time’, because, really, that would be a sad life wouldn’t it?

I’ll be in England by the end of the month, so I have to do some serious planning. I have started, but it’s hard facing cold-fact. I could do without going to be honest and I am a little afraid at what it be like to go there. I am also scared of how i will feel coming back. England and I aren’t one anymore.

No amount of planning can get rid of worry in your belly. I feel anxious. All the time in the evening. I’ve written down my main problems and I’m doing things about all of them, as much as I possibly can – the room is tidier and more organised, and I’ve also started getting things off an external hard drive.

A lot of the things on it were, unfortunately, corrupted. I had to re-download a few things, but not that many. It’s not been a tragedy, but it’s almost certainly due to the fact that I’ve been clumsy and its fallen on the floor once or twice. I should know better. I’m more careful than I ever have been in my life lately, but you can’t help but slip up sometimes.

As for my diary, it does give me comfort. I’m going to buy a USB scribbler pen so that I can write real-time onto my computer instead of wasting bits of paper. It’ll be quite a cool way of sending letters as well.

I got it working (the printer) and now I can print off my weekly planner along with my darling other things that I do to plan the week. I’ll use colours and code things. I’ll do my languages and studies, and be very studious and good with everything.
