Too Many Ideas

Hello World

It is Monday the 28th September 2026.

I've been struggling with the idea of too many ideas right now. I'm an aspiring coach, a freelance worker and a person who struggles to focus. I sometimes get these waves of pure concentration where nothing can take me away from what I'm doing. Otherwise, like today, I cannot get started.

I have a busy mind and used to tame it with meditation, a skill I took a long time to develop but has sadly now been forgotten about. As the annoyance of the not being able to focus mounted, I invested in some CBD gummies today to put my mind at rest and make progress in work and everything else I want to do... but there is the main point. I want to do so much.

I noted down, in my notebook with a notable bit of art on the front (you know the ones I mean, some have Van Gogh's Sunflowers, others have The Great Wave off Kanagawa on them), everything I want to do on a personal basis. Some would have professional benefits as well but , the list will grow and change but as it stands, it has 30 things written. 30. This is coupled with working and starting my own business (that isn't going the best at the moment) and also the necessities of sleeping and just enjoying life. How on earth am I supposed to get all 30 things done?

The reality of this is that I won't, some of these activities on my list will never happen. Some take years to master and I do not have infinite time on this planet. However, some are lifestyle changes that would benefit my life.

I once heard that you should have four different types of hobbies for balance. They are the following:

  1. One that challenges you mentally
  2. One that keeps you fit
  3. One that is creative and shows expression.
  4. One that just simply makes you happy.

Now, they can be quite arbitrary but if they make sense to you, then they must make sense.

My list has now grown to 36. I have them in a table and now I'm trying to work out if I can somewhat make this into a formula.

A new wind of inspiration has come to me from writing this which is good. I will be back by Friday with more. I'll be doing this for 4 Fridays to see how things go.

Wish me luck.

All the best
