Back to Adventure-Some’s Roots

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Way back when, as I first envisioned what I wanted Adventure-Some to become, it was grander than today’s results are. This is entirely my fault. I haven’t kept up my end of the bargain. Here is a copy of my goals for Adventure-Some.com from the Manifesto: Help you find ways to include adventure in your [...]

New Free Finance Tracking System

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Well, it took a bit longer than I planned, but I just finished my Finance Tracker 2.0! I wanted to simplify my finances so that I could track how I’m doing and plan for the future with one easy-to-use interface. After much fiddling with it, I finally have a new system that I’m pleased with. [...]

Re-Setting My Morning Routine

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

I’m great at hitting the snooze button. It took me 40 minutes to get up this morning. Yesterday I stayed in bed for almost an hour longer than I intended. I wasn’t late, but I wasn’t nearly as prepared for the day as I wanted to be. I do well for awhile, getting up with [...]

Spreading Spreadsheet

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I haven’t forgotten about my updated finance tracking/planning system. Unfortunately, as I’m working on it, I keep finding bugs and improvements that I want to make. I did manage to get the tracking and budget pages put together for the whole year. Unfortunately, I forgot a couple of new categories and as I’m inserting those [...]

Creating a Clutter Free Desktop

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

I’ve got a lot going on right now, so I need to be able to focus. If you’ve spent any time around me, you know that I don’t do fixed focus and single-tasking very well. Indeed, as I write this I am sitting outside watching traffic go by, listening to the iPod and writing (all [...]

Targeting A Goal

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

We have made our life list and narrowed it down to a year’s worth of goals; now it’s time to start achieving those goals! I’m going to use my goal of “Be financially self-sufficient” as an example, as I feel that it will be the most challenging of my three. But first, let’s recap: What [...]

My Life List

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the things that you did do. Wednesday we discussed the importance of making your life list and you made yours. (You did, didn’t you?) Here is my wife and I’s. We have already completed some of our [...]

Define Your Life

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009
