Woo! High five right back Conni! We definitely must meet up at some point. You’re going to Bali right? I’m headed to Vietnam next month, you making a stop there at all?

Agreed.. there’s never really a shortage of things I want to do, but I guess the idea for me is not getting stuck thinking “which is the best decision? I have too many and I want to do all of them now!” and end up running around in circles, but rather picking one, going for it with my full energy and not looking back, knowing that any decision is fine and I’ll still have time to do many more of those things I want to do.

Thanks for the comment Pierre!

I’m currently at 105, but still have to get rid of a lot of things before I take off again on a one way ticket in a few weeks.

Good advice. It took me a long time to learn this. Then the trick becomes prioritizing what you want to do now, given all the things you now want to do now. I still haven’t figured that out yet.

[...] Learned German. It’s nowhere near native level, but I moved to Germany without knowing a single word, and by the time I left a year later, I could read and write and communicate just about any idea (as long as the listener was patient). I keep up now by reading my great friend Sebastian Michel’s blog, Mr. Minimalist. [...]
