On Sabbatical - Month 1

So what happened during the first month I took for my sabbatical?

These are the notes I jot down as I ventured into this time off and commented on afterward. 

Month 1 (April 2016)

  • Finish work, watch Tesla Model 3 unveiling, then disconnect
  • To kick things off, the first thing I did was digitally disconnect for 30 hours. Followed up by first ever visit to Float House
  • Put together a personal website, something that's been (a low priority) on my to-do list for a couple of years.
  • Begin incorporation of a company as an exercise to learn about the nuts & bolts of small business.
  • Spring cleaning
  • Kiwanis Club of Vancouver
  • Hand-written gratitude letters mailed to people / businesses which have had a positive impact on my life. 
  • Joined a team with the Vancouver Ultimate League.
  • Take the stairs
  • Begin weekly volunteering with Working Gear
  • Try to start writing more... Write this: http://www.joshuationg.com/blog/2016/4/on-good-habits-disconnecting 
  • Boxing lessons at Diaz Combat Sports (DCS) Fitness & Martial Arts with my fiancee, 
  • Got together with 60+ through 1:1 and small group gatherings. Too much.
