Curves of life, education and leisure

Thinking about how my life and how I spend my time lately. I have to prioritize most of my activities to determine what I would want to do in a week. What are my criteria? Necessity and fun factor. What is necessary for me to do, and what gives me most fun.

Ofcourse, it’s not like I make consious descisions about it, but maybe I should. Let me tell you what I think are the current trends (curves) that influence my life. In the end, let me conclude where the areas of improvement might be.

Education is one of the main things in my life, but the current curve I’m noticing is that, sadly, the education I receive in school is inferior to the education I get purely by following my own interests. A good anecdote would be reading a book by John Gray just before a lecture by the International Sales director of IBM. During his talk I grew more and more annoyed by the statements he was making, since I just read pages and pages of arguments directly confronting these. Which to believe?

The leisure/work curve is changing constantly as well, from running my own business, and having that as one of the main sources for leisure, to working at a bar for the last few months, making my social life again one of the main points of leisure. Which to follow and what would be wise?

Strangely, the moments my life seems good, both balances seem to go start changing, forcing me to find a new balance. In the end, my problem seems to be that I tend to follow my gut in deciding what my passion of the moment is. The causes me to keep changing it around, but change is good and only to be expected.

How often do you change? My estimate of change would be every 2 or 3 years..
