It’s Time To Leave Mars Pt. 1
One of my favorite books / movies has to be The Martian by Andy Weir. What’s not to like? Just a guy stuck on a planet, all alone, and has to figure out how to get home.
Trying to get off of a planet by yourself is a daunting task to say the least. The way Mark Watney handled it was to break down his main goal of getting off of Mars down to single problems he can tackle one at a time. That has stuck with me since the first time I saw the movie. What is stopping me from listing my large goals, and then breaking them all down into single problems I can do one at a time.
I feel like since my divorce I’ve just hunkered down inside of my metaphorical HAB and have waited for someone to come and save me. No one is coming to fix everything for me, and it’s time for me to dust myself off and start working on getting off of Mars.
“Being happy” seems like a very broad term so I’m going to try and break it down to what I feel would make me happy into different categories:
Transition
Fix Mental Health
Financial Freedom
Find Career / Own Business
Own Property
Make Friends
Now I have a basic list that I can pick apart, and it will probably end up being changed / added to. Time for me to find somethings to work on! I’m going to start with the following:
Find and Call Doctor for HRT
Find Therapist
Cancel everything except my website and YouTube Premium
This is what I’m going to work on this week. This really does make everything more manageable for me. I’m ready to take it into my own hands and get things done instead of having a pity party doing nothing with my life.
