My 10 Commandments of #funemployment

01/01/2016 by heatherawsumb

I’ve been officially #funemployed for a month now but thanks to a series of trips it has felt more like an extended vacation than time going by and not actually having a job. Now that I am back in Lesotho the reality that I don’t have to report to work on Monday morning is starting to hit me and I’m increasingly wondering what the **** I’ve gotten myself into …

My sister, in the meantime, was also #funemployed at the end of the year and came up with the great idea of the 10 Commandments of Unemployment. (And then reviewed how she did now that she’s starting a new job on Monday.) This seems like a reasonable idea so I’ve come up with my own list of 10 things I want to do while #funemployed including:

  1. Thou shalt walk 10,000 steps per day
  2. Thou shalt make social arrangements at least 3x per week
  3. Thou shalt block yourself from Facebook between 9am and 5pm
  4. Thou shalt cook dinner 3x a week. This does not include popcorn or meals that primarily involve boiling water.
  5. Thou shalt do the Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred workout 3x per week
  6. Thou shalt connect with two people in your network per week
  7. Thou shalt take a road trip once a month
  8. Thou shalt catch up on your 17 Before 2017 reading goals (currently 960 pages).
  9. Thou shalt participate in Allison’s photo-a-day project called #funemployment
  10. Thou shalt re-visit your favorite places in Lesotho including Maliba Lodge, Sehlabathebe National Park, Semonkong

In addition to this list there are things that I have to do to get ready for my next step like Konmari the house to get ready to pack up, pack up the house, sell/giveaway things I’m not taking with me, figure out the logistics of actually moving my stuff from here to somewhere else, figure out the logistics of moving my animals from here to somewhere else, find a job and figure out where that somewhere else is going to be …

I like the list because it includes some things that I really don’t want to do, but want to push myself to actually do (*ahem* the Jillian Michael’s workout that I’ve had on video for several years now and never even watched …) and things that will be fun to do like road trips. There are also things that can be combined like cooking dinner and making social arrangements. Here’s to making the most of and enjoying my time off!
