Motivating Me

So on our recent holiday I spend a little bit of time looking inwardly,  and asked myself this question: What is it that I actually like? I mean there are things I spend my time on obviously, but to avoid being an NPC (as wifey puts it) I think one needs to attack life and not just let it happen. Of course spending a lot of time with family is not just letting things happen, but I'm talking more about my own personal interests. So I thought I'd issue myself a Pepsi Challenge and see what I can do about upping the ante in this regard. First things first, let's list down everything that interests me, at least everything I can think of;

1 I'm interested in the unknown, either paranormal or lost history
2 I'm interested in travelling, going to new places
3 I'm interested in good food
4 I'm interested in reading
5 I'm interested in decent movies and TV shows
6 I'm interested in music
7 I'm interested in writing
8 I'm interested in managing my photos better
9 I'm interested in building a Lego city
10 I'm interested in self-sustainability
11 I'm interested in retiring early, not at 65 or later
12 I'm interested in improving my health
13 I'm interested in watching my kids grow and supporting them
14 I'm interested in being a good husband and loving my wife
15 I'm interested in sports, especially cricket, AFL and rugby
16 I'm interested in computer games
17 I'm interested in treasure hunting and following others doing it
18 I'm interested in rocks and minerals
19 I'm interested in being part of a decent organisation
20 I'm interested in being a good leader
21 I'm interested in socialising with my friends

Ok I think that covers it. At least from the point of view that pretty much 100% of my adult life can be put into those various activities.

So I've rated these in terms of whether they are critical, important, nice, or less important.

The formatting on this bloody thing is not working for me at the moment. So I am going to post this now and move on to the next step in another post. I will be focusing only on the critical and important items in that list to start with.
