My Last Year by Mind Map: My Last Year

1. Contribution & Impact

1.1. I'm only really giving value to the world by having jobs that are positive sum. I don't feel like this is enough, although it *is* better than some. I don't take enough responsibility for the impact I am having, and I give very little away to charity.

2. Location & Posessions

2.1. Still living with the parents in Brisvegas. Living situation is comfortable. I have a lot of clutter that I don't need nor want, but it's just here. I should probably get rid of some stuff.

3. Money & Finance

3.1. I just got a scholarship payment and have already wasted far too much. I can't manage money for shit. I don't budget, but I need to. I'm slowly accruing uni debt.

4. Career & Work

4.1. Working at BBC for robo & debating coaching. Tutoring maths at the same time. Work is fun, but I'd prefer it concentrated than being as spread out as it is. Not very involved in debating or robotics scenes.

5. Knowledge & Education

5.1. I attend 1/4 my university contact hours. This is bad. I teach myself comparatively less than I used to. My reading speed has slowed greatly. Despite all this, I maintain a high level of information intake - magically!

6. Communication

6.1. I write little, teach little, communicate ideas little. I am at least influential in my own circles and open to discussion. I lack in some communication abilities though.

7. Big Achievements

7.1. Came 2nd in robocup

7.2. Got into ENGG

7.3. Got ICT shcolarship

8. Big Failures

8.1. Didn't get OP1, not massive

8.2. Didn't win robocup, not massive

9. Worldview & Purpose

9.1. I don't have a sense of direction or purpose. I don't have a philosophy of life. I'm doing this exercise to work out goals, although helping humanity and raising great kids are in the end-game. I want the world to be significantly more rational and technologically capable when I'm gone.

9.2. beliefs

9.2.1. Politically left, I guess. Beliefs about the world are unlikely to change significantly.

10. Health & Fitness

10.1. eating

10.1.1. I eat like shit. I need to sort this out. Too much McDonalds, too much eating at uni, not enough cooking.

10.2. exercise

10.2.1. I barely exercise at all, besides walking to and from places. That averages out >10000 steps a day, but I'm not happy with it

10.3. sleep

10.3.1. Sleep is variable in time, generally not too bad in length. I'm not happy with it in terms of the time variability, but it's generally not atrocious. It could definitely be improved though.

10.4. fitness

10.4.1. Unfit. Not so unfit I can't run at all, but unfit enough that I can't run very far.

10.5. weight

10.5.1. Reasonable weight, due to my awesome metabolism

11. Intimate Relationships

11.1. I am not in an intimate relationship, though I could enter one with ease. In the last 6 months, this has been the general case. Before that, it was nowhere near the case. Let's see how that pans out

12. Social Life & Family

12.1. family

12.1.1. Relationship with my family is dodgy at best. I don't trust any besides Dad, and they don't approve of my staying in my room or my beliefs, it seems. We get on fine in a skin deep fashion, but it makes me sad.

12.2. core friends

12.2.1. Ross, Justin, Tristan Katrina. Circle of friends includes Kippen & Lizzie too. Getting close with Josh Bell, as well as Carl, Airlie, and Jasmine.

12.3. acquaintances

12.3.1. Apparently I have shitloads. I get told I "know everybody"

12.4. clubs/organizations

12.4.1. Robogals, UQCC, UQ Skeptics. Don't interact with them at all.

12.5. am I a good friend?

12.5.1. On asking Twis, he says yes. Not sure how others would react. Lizzie refuses to trust me, so that's probably not a good sign.

13. Emotions

13.1. I feel generally good about my life, although whenever a bunch of factors combine I end up feeling atrocious and in need of hugs. I'm generally optimistic/positive, and usually aware of where I'm at internally. I am sometimes unaware of emotions affecting thoughts, but better than most. I do no mindfulness practice

14. Character & Integrity

14.1. Rate myself out of:

14.1.1. Compassion

14.1.2. Integrity

14.1.3. Empathy

14.1.4. Honour

14.1.5. Self-discipline

14.1.6. Self-awareness

14.1.7. Communication skills

14.1.8. Responsibility

14.1.9. Focus

14.1.10. Authenticity

14.1.11. Confidence

14.1.12. Persistence

14.1.13. Effectiveness

15. Productivity & Organization

15.1. I use no productivity system beyond a calendar, and I am not at all satisfied with my productivity. I am completely disorganised beyond said calendar. I need to work some shit out, but I don't think it's complexity.

16. Fun & Adventure

16.1. I feel like I should be experiencing more adventurous things, but then I feel apathetic and unmotivated when it comes time to do those things. I don't think I've done anything particularly fun lately beyond kayak polo, but we stopped that before I even got to play a game. I've done nothing creative whatsoever in a long time.

16.2. hobbies

16.2.1. guitar which I never play

16.2.2. programming which I rarely do

16.2.3. cooking which depresses me when I do it at home, so I never do it

16.3. recreation

16.3.1. video games & reading, very little else
