Yep I Flopped [Retro 004]

I got overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things I would like to do. This resulted in me being paralyzed by various conflicting things. I'm trying to achieve all and getting none done. I was trying to improve my coding skills. I was trying to gain certification. I was trying to build an app. I was trying to make a new exercise habit. Yep, it's too much task to keep in mind active.

So, I have decided to focus on one thing at a time and then do the next one after the previous one has reached the point where it is a minimal effort to keep doing. My primary goal that I'm trying to achieve is to be free. I want to be free to choose when to take a vacation without restriction on how much impact it would have on my pocket. I want to be free when I decide to take the day off. I want to be free to follow the things I like to do. I want to be healthy and need to be able to keep that.

This distils down to two main things I need to gain.

1. Have income streams that are not primarily dependent on how much time that spend on work. (Not initially)
2. Exercise

The other things that keep happening is the overconsumption of information and entertainment. I wanted to learn but I was not implementing anything I was learning. Which is not how it should be. I should only learn things that would be used in shortly. This means cutting down on entertainment that is not required and if I think I need some learning to do the task at hand then I should learn.

I have a bunch of ideas. Now it's time to focus on implementation.

The first app that I will be making is a To-Do app. It has a specific feature that I could not find in other apps. Although I haven't done any reasearch on confirming the same. Im letting it be the case. May be its already out there.
