What better way to start planning “the big trip” than to make a list?
Although, ZenHabits (among others) suggests that todo lists are not as effective as they may seem; its tough to break old habits.

Instead of focusing on one task a day, I will try a task a week. But I think I’ve pretty much sorted out what I need to do before I leave into the following #todo list:
- pack up (or sell) stuff
- arrange work leave / quit job
- rent out house: insurance, bond, rent
- write a will
- cancel insurance (contents, health, car, etc), take out travel insurance
- make sure my dog is looked after
- sell car
- cancel gym membership, etc.
- redirect mail
- do something about mortgage payments, investment loans, and investments.
- create a rough itinerary
- apply visa
- buy plane tickets to exotic european destination
- buy backpack
- get excited!
In the following weeks, I will probably blog about each of these todo list tasks separately. After all, its not easy for a 27 year old single Aussie bloke with a dog, career, and mortgage to just “up-and-leave”. But we can make it happen!
