Alright, it’sitting time to break out those pens. Or computers.

We’re ripping revealed a page from the plain Notes from the Road series extremely at the Traveler’s Notebook and asking you to take a moment to sketch out something that probably misfortunes your mind now and anew: A Personal Manifesto.
When I happened immediately after Gwen Bell’s, author of the Unconventional Guide to the Social Web, process the other day, I immediately became excited at the notion of going through my own.
Check out her guide on the innumerable of ways to go about developing your own manifesto.
Here are a few highlights of possible road-map choices:
Vision Map
Yep, this means breaking out the magazines, scissors, and glue. Good magazines, with positive images, by the way. Cut out pictures of what you want in your life, whether that includes traveling the world or owning a yoga studio. Don’t forget to scrawl yourself a little note about your beauty.
Put it all together in a systematic or wonderfully haphazard fashion on a big piece of cardboard, and hang it up on your wall. I also like Bell’s suggestion of scanning the chart in order to have a travel-version.
Life List
Life list, bucket list, whatever you need to call it – reasonable write down a 100 things you want to do before kicking well, you know, the bucket. I like the look of Maggie Mason’s (the inspiration for Bell’s list), and the archetype of having mine sitting pretty on my computer and crossing through the ones I’ve completed. Oooh, I come short to stop writing this post and mode do it right now.
Digitized Goals

Bell provides a division to an online questionnaire, which can be helpful for those of us that need prompts. Or cut-offs. Plus, who are we kidding – haven’t most of us forgotten how to write in cursive anyway?
Microactions
To continue the tradition I began of robbery ideas from the Traveler’s Notebook, take a look at their new series, Micro Notes, in order to learn primed for this one. I comprehend I be possible to at times be wordy in both writing and speech (have you noticed?), and often, the best way to get things done is to define them by briefness. Index cards, crumbling lists, to the point=making things happen.
Finally, here’s one I’m adding to Bell’s list:
Visioning/Meditation On Your Goals
A former dance teacher of mine will freely tell you that without a doubt, “visioning” her futurity each single day has led to her dreams becoming a reality. After passing the bar exam, Vicki decided to chuck the lawyer-life and pursue her true passion, dance. Now, she along through her business and life partners throw one of the most consistently sold-out fraternity nights in San Francisco, Non Stop Bhangra, and her dance troupe, Dholrhythms, performs up and on the ground the Western Coast of US and Canada.
In other words, don’t forget the power of intention.
Vicki has had a daily routine of reciting and meditating on her dreams, and says that everything that has come to fruition began as a thought in this course. In other wrangling, put on’t forget the power of intention.
Since fall to the end of time feels like a good time for looking within, I’ll be working on my manifesto this weekend, and then will post more of my results and musings at my blog, Living Holistically. I’hotch-potch hoping to see some of yours, even just bits and pieces, also.
Add parts of your manifesto to your personal blog, and then come back here and paste the link in the comments section beneath!
Community Connection
While developing your manifest, don’t forget about the beauty of transparency in your writing, whether for yourself or others. David Miller takes a look at the importance of Material Transparency in creating a physical brand.
