You can cover a ton of ground in a short period while traveling. By comparison, staying in one place feels like it runs through time without much progress. I'm surprised at how much ground I covered after Miami, and how fast the time's gone while stuck in Coronavirus Guadeloupe.
Things annoyed me often: noises and other distractions. On the positive side, I guess after all those annoyance I don't have to see them as a new issue.
I think I'm in around the same shape as a few years ago. Physiologically, somewhat older and slower. Psychologically maybe somewhat crazier. :) Financially somewhat better off.
Keep working on your core values!
Sometimes things take a while, but you can make headway! :)
It can feel frustrating while working on things with deferred gratification, yet eventually it can pay dividends.
"Gratification deferred is gratification denied!" :)
And while you're working and waiting, you can also adapt a schedule to do other things that you'd put off before or that arise! :)
It feels like such a relief months later or whenever you do finally finish your goals! :)
I'm feeling more frustration over how long I've been stuck in Guadeloupe due to the COVID, but when I think about it rationally it seems less frustrating. I've taken care of tons of issues that would've been difficult to handle on the road.
Now going through some of my notes, planning for after the Coronavirus. Hopefully soon. I'm extremely excited to tour more!
Knocking off tons of items from my old checklists that I made before starting out on this Caribbean venture!!!!! :)
You can figure out tons of things as you go. Also fun and useful to plan. Before island hopping, I planned out some islands, including a bit of research on how to get among them. I managed to make it through much of what I planned, as well as some of what I hadn't planned. As so often seems to happen while traveling, turned out way more interesting and rewarding than expected!!!!! :)
Keep going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Adapt, evolve, adjust. Landscapes develop, we should too! :)
The organization or structure of travels (or life) unfolds as we make things happen! :)
And I've eaten TONS of rice 'n' beans in the Caribbean!!!!! :)
Travel makes me enthusiastic!!!!! :)
Simplify!!!!! :)
Many of my worries and anxieties turn out to be part of my personality instead of reasonable, I think. :)
I guess it makes sense just to ignore many of the unfounded fears. Not all fears, but the unreasonable ones.
It's ok! :)
Worry just enough to do the important things! :)
Going back over my old notes from recent years, much of it has expired, things like drafts and notes for projects I worked on. Useful at the time, but not relevant to keep. Other things have remained or even increased in personal interest, like my travel notes and data on personality and health.
Things break often, including computers. I have tons of scattered notes from while repairing or replacing computers. The notes served their purpose. Just do whatever works!
A lot of worries are a weird artifact of being human.
There's tons we can learn, from others, from ourselves, from the environment.
Some of it useful/practical, some of it interesting/beautiful, some of it both or neither.
I guess it's a question of value. What one wants. Material outcomes, subjective pleasures, a combination, or some other rewards.
I think that many people aim for material outcomes, often without consciously deciding to do so.
I'm not arguing that there's a "right" choice.
Personally I go for a combination, as I suppose technically everyone does. I think I'm far less practically oriented than average people, but not as extremely impractical as some individuals. I think. :)
Let's glow!!!!! :)
