20 Questions You Should Ask Yourself Every Sunday

What did I learn last week? – I've spent time learning that I want to be politically active. That I want to attempt to make a difference in my life and maybe the life of some one else, for the better that is.

What was my greatest accomplishment over the past week? – I wrote a letter to President-elect Obama, and asked him to spell out his opinions and plans for labour(organized and unorganized) in the U.S. and around the world. Also asking him to spell out his thoughts on certain changes to the NLRB under the Bush admin.

Which moment from last week was the most memorable and why? – I do not know. I think I have really enjoyed the response to the cake I baked for the cast and crew here.

What’s the #1 thing I need to accomplish this week? – Go to the gym at least 3 times next week. I need to get my self out of this slump of just sitting around the hotel room, slacking, and start working on improving my semi-flabby body.

What can I do right now to make the week less stressful? – I think the best thing I can do is start taking better care of my self, and start concentrating on being a better me, and worrying less about things that I should not worry so much about.

What have I struggled with in the past that might also affect the upcoming week? –

What was last week’s biggest time sink? – Spending a lot of time playing video games. I need to at least move to reading books instead of playing video games all day long. If not getting my self out of the hotel and exploring some.

Am I carrying any excess baggage into the week that can be dropped? – I think I have been carrying a large amount of baggage for some time. Its time for me to just let the past be the past and move on, learn from my mistakes but leave them behind and not obsess over them. Not saying its going to be an easy, instant thing, just saying its something I need to do.

What have I been avoiding that needs to get done? – I have been avoiding both working out, and bettering my mind by studying and teaching my self new things and that needs to halt. Its time to become a better me, mentally and physically.

What opportunities are still on the table? – Obviously I have lots of opportunities when I get back home. Hopefully jobs will continue to flow as they always have. I hope to have some other opportunities open up here shortly. Also I have a fairly major opportunity open up, of starting my own audio company. Start out renting smaller pieces of gear that I will begin picking up here and there, and eventually put together a full audio system, and start a full blow audio company.

Is there anyone I’ve been meaning to talk to? – Yes lots of people, I do not even know where to begin.... I will be beginning to address this once I get back home.

Is there anyone that deserves a big ‘Thank You’? –

How can I help someone else this coming week? –

What are my top 3 goals for the next 3 years? – Buying a place to live, putting together a little musical group(even if it is just a few people I just kind of riff with), Put my self into a situation where I will end up with a house audio job in a venue.

Have any of my recent actions moved me closer to my goals? – Going out on this tour has really allowed me to save some money(thus putting me closer to buying a place), and has created a major resume piece(thus making it that much easier to have the cred's to get a house job). I have not played my drums in 6+ months so perhaps that has hindered the 2nd goal, but who knows.

What’s the next step for each goal? –

What am I looking forward to during the upcoming week? –

What are my fears? – Spiders........yes I am afraid of spiders, but my biggest fear is a fear of failure.

What am I most grateful for? –

If I knew I only had one week to live, who would I spend my time with? – There are so many people I would want to spend time with. I enjoy hanging out with my friends a whole lot, and well I would have to see my family as much as possible. I would want it to not be a sad time, I would rather go out having fun with friends and family than be down about having to die...

Ok enough for now, Ill fill in the rest later.
