The 5 Goal Layers
In pondering and considering my goals across the 5 categories Dan presented, I found that some are more refined and crisp than others.
In particular I have a career pivot in mind, away from reliance on the institutions of academia and doing more market-facing scientific activity, with a fairly comprehensive and compelling plan that aligns the economics of long term survival and wealth together with the Mission in a fairly synergistic way.
I also feel like the health component is cut and dry too - I know exactly what habits to add and subtract, those that would be both sustainable
However:
the details of the how for health and finance is something I'm researched fairly well, with a comprehensive structure, but mental blocks in implementation is the primary risk in getting it through. And while I'm working through DBT techniques to rein in dysfunctional automatic behaviors, it seems a much more hazy and uncertain process, while the financial success depends on this.
With the social component I am at a complete loss as to what to even want and pursue. I am aware of some hard limitations, autism limits the capacity for making social connections with anyone who would be high status in any milieu. Dating wise I can't think of anything I have experienced that I want to experience again. I can think of things I don't want to experience, things that would be fairly fun but take lots of effort, and otherwise am leaning towards celibacy for the near term.
General social circle wise for leisure, it's hard to think of what kind of community or vibes I want to find. As far as my hobby of music there's no particular new tribe, e.g. jazz or classical, that would be a change of pace that seems appealing.
But if I try to imagine a vision for an ideal social life, it comes up completely blank - I can't think of anything all that sharp or appealing.
I am inclined to think the best way to go about this is to simply punt the social aspect - focus on the career and then once I have successfully pivoted, maybe in 5 years, revisit and make some decisions regarding my social life?
