I highly recommend Derek Sivers's book on entrepreneurship, Anything You Want.

This tiny book keeps me grounded to a mission of truly helping people and enjoying the process:

For mental frameworks, I personally maintain a few different lists.

My bucket list contains stuff that I think would be fun to do before I die:

My unbucket list tracks stuff that I am trying to avoid:

My now page lists my short-term projects and goals:

I think it's really important to think about the life that you want and try to work backwards from there. What do you want an average day in your life to look like in 10 years? What can you do over the next month or year to inch you closer to that lifestyle?

Thank you! I've read some of Derek's writing and can tell he thinks outside the box. I like the idea of the "unbucket list" and the first item resonates as I was looking yesterday at boats.

Honestly trying to think through what I do want now so I can work backwards. I have some ideas but I am not as clear as I feel some other people are.

Well I’ve been punched in the face. Never had it as a bucket item!
