Over the past few weeks I have participated in the project #Reverb10. Many of the prompts included a look into the future. All the time I wrote I am not going to reveal anything about it yet. Now it is about time to do this.

The next year will be exiting. Even though I think it will be hard too! Now here goes my plan:

First 6 Month

I am going to focus on School. I have my last final exam June the 3rd. It is a Friday and I am going to be free after 1 PM. But also during those 6 month — next to my studying — my focus is on preparing my life after my Graduation. That includes going more minimalistic — selling some of my stuff. But on the other hand also buying stuff I will need for the time after that. In addition to that it also includes looking for work I can do after my Graduation — I still have to get in enough money to life from. I plan on offering Web-Development and -Design Services, Photography, Consulting and I have some projects of my own to work on.

After Graduation

The first thing I plan on doing after my Graduation is to walk the Way of St. James. The reason for why I want to do this will be an other post. So far: it is a decision I took after 2010th final Exams and I will stick to that decision.

After the Way of St. James

I plan on a short period of coming home time. Than my plans are to process what I have experienced. After that the time is mostly open. I have to get to my goals regarding my income. Currently I calculate a minimum of 2.000€ per month — that can change over the next month depending on what I learn about living on my own. Currently I have the luxury of living with my parents and being supported by them but I plan on standing up and walking on my own feet next year — probably the biggest goal in life!

How I am plan on achieving that income is also an other story. And that brings me to the next headline.

My Plan for THIS Blog

Over the past years this blog has helped me get better in english, it helped me to write regularly — stick to it sometimes more than others — and it helped me understand some things about social networking and the web. I will continue to blog here but the focus will change.

The past years have been mostly about the past of my life, sometimes about tech stuff or news. The past month I started to get to the topic of life style design. Since I am starting to create my own life style this is what the main focus of this blog will be. I want to document my way through that. I know it is different especially as a German but I will do it. I plan on not going to University for now. But to walk my way. To dig my own Hole. Michael Mistretta put that very well at the ending of his post Digging Holes:

As you can probably tell, my hole isn’t very deep yet. I have some more digging to do. You should probably go too.

~ Digging Holes by Michael Mistretta

Having that in min, I am going to dig my hole. And that essentually is what this blog will be about:

My plans, ideas, the concept, what I learn and the results. But maybe more important: the mistakes — hopefully none!

I plan on doing this not in a diary way and it can happen that there is no new post in a week or two. If you have any experience or interest in this field of life-style design, pleas subscribe or contact me via email / Twitter (@cspiegl).

Overall

This is just a part of what I have in mind. There is much more to be reveled! How I plan on getting the income I need and so on. But that my friends is to be written about sometime the comming weeks.
