trobadora has written 3 entries about this goal

also thinking about 3 years ago

On the 15th 3 years ago

I’m going to do this on the 15th of every month. Starting next month.



Strategy and Justification 3 years ago

I don’t know if other people are as self-sabotaging as me, but I tend to “forget” about my own interests. I’ve found that a really easy way to combat this is to get magazine subscriptions to magazines about those subjects, because they come in the mail periodically and remind you. (“Hello…you’re still interested in geography!”)

I’ve already been getting National Geographic and Yoga Journal (which has actually learnt me that I’m not as interested in yoga as I thought I was).

So I’m going to start ordering one per month (so the renewals don’t all come due at once, of course) on the following subjects:

writing
middle eastern dance
some kind of regional magazine (like Northern Ohio Live or the New Yorker)
gardening (i.e., heirloom)
food/cooking (healthy, regional…not sure of the focus yet)
maybe something like bitch or bust, but i tend to get tired of those pretty fast

If you can suggest a good title, let me know!
