My five-year plan
Written today for 15 August 2031 · The life I pictured
1 · The life I'm building
People & Place
A place with a long table and mismatched chairs. Close enough to Mum for Sunday lunch. Friends who let themselves in.
=BELONGING(People, Place, Time, Connection)
Self & Experience
Walking most mornings. Two big trips taken. Reading again. Energy that doesn't run out by Wednesday.
=SELF(Energy, Growth, Experience, Care)
Purpose & Contribution
Leading projects I'm proud of, with a small side practice that could grow into something of my own.
=PURPOSE(Skills, Meaning, Contribution, Courage)
Wealth & Freedom
My own front door, a reserve that means bad months are boring, and investments quietly compounding.
=FREEDOM(Income, Assets, Choices, Obligations)
Add pictures in Imagine and they'll appear here as your collage.
It's a Tuesday. I make coffee in my own kitchen, walk down to the water, and get to work on something I actually chose. The spare room is made up because Mum is visiting. There's money in the reserve I haven't had to think about all year. I feel steady.
