Lots Of Stuff Going On

Lots of stuff going on right now and I'm having trouble figuring out what to do. All this shit in my head is putting me in some sort of paralyzed state. 

I'm just going to write out a list and some notes, which hopefully will help me sort through some of this stuff.

Job/Employment
  • Last day at the current job is 10/27
  • Benefits go through the end of November
  • Still don't know if I can elect to pay for the benefits package to keep that going beyond November or if I would want to do that anyway
  • Need to figure out if I am eligible for the extra $1K for being at 6 months
  • Need to update resume and get it to Tom for Expedia, Colin for Slalom, Marc for ProjectLine
  • Need to get updated resume on Monster/Linked In
  • Major priority should be finding a permanent spot somewhere and getting off the contractor carousel

Housing
  • May need to vacate end of October but strong possibility we will be able to stay in November at $800 each
  • If not, I may need to live at home for a few weeks
  • End of November is a much better time to vacate - I can put my stuff in storage and live at home for December
  • If we vacate end of October, the preferred way to go is to find a two bedroom with Nick, in which case I will probably want to stay there at least 6 months when what I really want is my own 1BR apartment

Self-Improvement - Three major areas happening right now - Therapy, Pickup, and CrossFit/Diet

Therapy
  • Just started therapy with a diagnosis of dysthymia
  • Benefits will pay for therapy through the end of November - better than nothing
  • Presumably I will have homework starting next week

Pickup/Game
  • With all this other stuff going on, I shouldn't expect too much of myself - just try and talk to people and be nice - maybe try more day game
  • Try to add more energy and passion to my interactions
  • Need to really dig and figure out what my themes should be
  • I need to make an effort to have some fun - seeing more movies is a good idea, especially on Friday and Saturday - maybe take some walks in Discovery Park
  • Need to write out my beliefs
  • Need to decide if I'm going to take an RSD bootcamp - may not be a good idea until I can get some tools out of therapy to try and make myself happier
  • Need to watch video on Tapping and try to learn this technique
  • Need to go to some of these NLP meetups and see what that stuff is about
  • Need to finish Foundations and put notes into Word - maybe watch it again
  • Need to investigate 60 method
  • Need to figure out if 12 Months To Mastery is a good way to go - expensive but doable if I'm employed

CrossFit/Diet
  • Continue CrossFit 3-4 days each week
  • Focus on diet - get off sugar as much as I can - this should be the focus rather than specific weight targets
  • Don't worry so much about hitting the weekends
  • Don't worry so much about hitting strength targets

Other Stuff
  • Reading - find a really good book and read 30 minutes each day - not on the computer
  • TV - figure out which shows I really like and keep up with those
  • Snowboarding - don't think about this until job/housing issues are figured out - this is important though because I need more fun stuff to look forward to
Okay, now that I have all this shit written out, I can see why I'm having some trouble getting anything done. Next step is to digest this and start coming up with priorities and a plan.
