many lists, all subject to change

my top 5 priorities in order
1. my career, education and finances
2. dating attractive women
3. guitar playing, writing music
4. health
5. friends and family

(i find it interesting friends and family is last on my top 5 list).

3 things to improve each of the above areas of my life, which after accomplishing, will make me a self actualized person, at which point i will have to reevaluate this list again. if i get any of these accomplished, i will check them off and write about it.

my career
-arrive at 8:00 every day from now on. try to avoid staying late if you can help it, but work the entire time that you're there. websurfing is ok, but your work is first priority.
-always have a side project that you're working on, and always be reading a new technical book.
-resolve to be an expert in all technical areas related to your job.

education
-call nu about audit, fill out formz.
-evaluate worth of mba, decide if it's for you, pursue further steps if this is the case.
-if this is not the case, evaluate what type of education you would like to pursue.

finances
-get tax information together, file
-sort mail, balance checkbook, put checkbook on computer, make sure you always track it from now on
-finish forms for 403b at work, make another appointment and submit them. read his materials, he will give you more to read after you meet with him.

dating attractive women
-make more friends in general, be more social. remember to exercise observing ego, to have boundaries, and to have confidence.
-start asking attractive women out left and right. if you come across a good opportunity: always do the right thing.
-read more literature.

guitar playing, writing music
-practice at least 2 hours a day from now on, 6+ on the weekends. this is your number 3 priority in life. go to lessons every week. my style is thrash metal + classical.
-record at least 4 covers at the very minimum by the end of 2006. if you can - more covers, plus originals.
-read about music theory, keep at the classical.

health
-work out at least 4 times a week.
-low fat and carb diet.
-no smoking.

friends and family
-continue therapy, work on these relationships.
