I'm so glad you enjoy my blog. Yes, my ideas have progressed a little bit since I put things in the 'stuff thats weighing down everett's life' box. Though, I recently left another one of those at the school house when I moved out completely. I'm back in New York, we should hang out! Yay Talena! I’m so glad you enjoy my blog.

Gary says it best in the video. I definitely suggest watching it. When I have trouble reaching a goal, I like to take a look at where I'm wasting time. TV can be a huge time sucker, but there are thousands of ineffecient ways to spend your day. Identify the areas in your life where you are wasting time and eliminate them. Thanks for the comment, and the guest post this week, Dave. Much appreciated! Exactly! Gary says it best in the video. I definitely suggest watching it.

I know so many people that think they don't have time to start their own small business but watch 3 hours of tv a night... Another I like is "Spend ten hours a week trying to automate income." I wish I would have learned this one while in high school. I am glad I am practicing it more now though. Great points made throughout. David Damron LifeExcursion Hey Everett—

I've also always found that by acting confident in most situations, I'll eventually end up being actually confident in most situations. I've been juggling photography, writing, and web design as fields for awhile now, and you're right it's hard to concentrate on them all at the same time. I spent years concentrating solely on photography and photo editing, and just let everything else happen when it may. Right now I'm just concentrating on the writing, because that's what I'm into right now. I've found that photography has become kind of a natural habit though, which I enjoy. I don't have to think to hard at it to make a good shot happen. Follow what interests you most in this moment, but you can be all of those different things -- and skills like these naturally help the others flourish.

I want to be able to make a living from my passions, writing and photography. One of my biggest hurdles has definitely been dealing with lack of confidence, which is where I've found learning to be helpful, and in sense, working for free as by blogging and having a free photo exhibition, I've gained the confidence I need to start thinking about charging people, and to start an MA in writing. Another thing I've found important is focus - I started off this summer with interests in writing, photograpjy, web design and teaching, and just realised that there's no way that I can bring myself to a superstar level in all of them at the same time. Right now, teaching is out of the equation, and web design is going to be a hobby (which also takes the mental pressure offf a bit!). I think I might favourite this list and come back to it.

Some people thrive at college, others find the whole experience frustrating. My own undergrad experence at NYU opened many opportunities to me and taught me a variety of incredibly useful skills. But in the process I also opened many opportunities for myself and learned many useful skills without anyone's help. It was a great place to be at the time. Thanks, as always, for your insight Andrew! That can be true about higher education, but it varies widely and I can’t say I wouldn’t suggest going.
