How was that for you?
That was great. The process of doing the LIPD was challenging, and very fruitful. Focusing my plans and intentions feels really valuable, taking myself seriously and believing in my ideas. I found using the mahara platform easier and was able to produce a better looking document than the LCR output. I know the LIPD could be more pollished, and might be hard for other people to follow, as Malika pointed out the point form lists are not very elegant. However it is primarily a document for my own use, I think mostly the value is in going through the process of planning - plans are useless, right? ;)
I realised through the LIPD that my long-term plans are very vague. I feel like this is ok, but also now see the value of planning ahead. Through this process and thinking more about it later, I have been able to better define my goals and aspirations, and understand that achieving these goals will require more planning and perhaps a less happy-go-lucky lifestyle in the future. I believe that everything will work out well for me, but am thinking about more concrete goals. This process has been very helpful.
