#Action plan

There are a ton of things I want to get into.. Martial arts, drawing, learning a foreign language, sewing, programming. Math. Scrapbooking. Unfortunately just the sheer amount of ideas and goals I have overwhelm me and I have no idea where to start, because I do not think I have time to practice all of those things, and they all sound so attractive and I can‘t decide where to begin. This undecisiveness leads to procrastrination in my case. Do you have any advice?
Hi love! I would say to create a hobby "roadmap" for yourself.
Consider the main goals you want to achieve in each area. Create a SMART goal (or two) for each hobby (e.g.: I want to get a yellow belt within 6 months; I want to create XYZ types/number of portraits of XYZ subjects before the end of this year).
Break down the larger goal into individual milestones/tasks for each hobby/area of interest(Enroll in a semester of weekly martial arts classes; Take a drawing class to create a work of XYZ subject or to learn XYZ drawing technique this month, next month, etc.)
Create a timeline for each hobby/interest and put all of these timelines together on one shared document to see your overall "roadmap"
Plan your non-school/work hours around this timeline and track your task completion/progress over the next few months
Reevaluate your goals, plan, and tasks/timelines as needed
Hope this helps xx

💪 Power in action
Clarity doesn't come from knowing more - it comes when you engage in the battle, even if you don't fully understand what to do.
❗️ The perfect moment will never come. What's important is to just start and keep moving forward, even if you don't feel confident or have all the answers.
It's through action and practice that you will gain experience, acquire new knowledge, and grow.

Strengthening the science-policy interface on pollination.
Tumblr media
This Assessment covers changes in animal pollination as a regulating ecosystem service that underpins food production and its contribution to gene flows and restoration of ecosystems. It addresses the role of native and exotic pollinators, the status of and trends in pollinators and pollination networks and services, drivers of change, impacts on human well-being, food production of pollination declines and deficits and the effectiveness of responses to pollination declines and deficits. The Assessment informs enhanced policy responses to declines and deficits in pollination by identifying policy-relevant findings for decision-making in government, the private sector and civil society, as well as helping to demonstrate how an essential ecosystem service contributes to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The Plenary approved the Summary for Policymakers and accepted the chapters of the Assessment at its 4th session in February 2016 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (IPBES 4). As the first of the completed IPBES thematic outputs, the publication of this Assessment has generated a wide range of follow-up products, actions and policy initiatives. Some of the most noteworthy of these are:
A formal endorsement of the key messages of the Assessment by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity at its 13th meeting (COP13).
The formation of a “Coalition of the Willing” by a growing number of Governments around the world, inspired by the assessment to act nationally to protect pollinators and to promote pollination.
The publication, in both the Nature and Science journals, of major articles building on and reviewing the assessment. Access the media releases.
An ever-expanding list of national strategies and action plans on pollination, premised on the outcomes of the assessment, in countries including, among others: France, the Netherlands, Brazil, South Africa and the Republic of Korea.
IPBES would like to acknowledge and thank all of the experts who contributed to the Assessment, and whose efforts have already made so great an impact in strengthening the science-policy interface on pollination.

i cried to my counselor saying that i feel like a burden to my parents and that i should be doing much more for them
then my counselor asked me "𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕 𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈?"
i looked at her in wonder
she continued, "you're studying in one of the most prestigious universities without paying anything. compare your tuition to the amount your parents are giving for your allowance"
i gave her other reasons why i feel like a terrible person. every time, she asked me
"is it a fact or a feeling?"
and every time i answered "feeling"
when we're clouded with overwhelming emotions, we struggle to differentiate the facts from our feelings, which is totally understandable. 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺
this is the time we have to remember that we don't always have to go through it alone and we can seek other people's help

7 Steps to Developing Self-Discipline Through Effective Goal Setting
self-discipline can be cultivated through effective goal setting, as outlined by Brian Tracy in his book "Goals!". The seven-step framework, which includes writing down the goal, setting a deadline, making a to-do list, organizing the list and more...
Self-discipline is a crucial element in achieving success in life. Without discipline, we tend to procrastinate, lose focus, and ultimately fail to reach our goals. Fortunately, self-discipline can be cultivated, and it all starts with goal setting. As the saying goes, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Setting goals helps create a plan of action towards achieving the things that we desire…

"With “green corridors” that mimic the natural forest, the Colombian city is driving down temperatures — and could become five degrees cooler over the next few decades.
In the face of a rapidly heating planet, the City of Eternal Spring — nicknamed so thanks to its year-round temperate climate — has found a way to keep its cool.
Previously, Medellín had undergone years of rapid urban expansion, which led to a severe urban heat island effect — raising temperatures in the city to significantly higher than in the surrounding suburban and rural areas. Roads and other concrete infrastructure absorb and maintain the sun’s heat for much longer than green infrastructure.
“Medellín grew at the expense of green spaces and vegetation,” says Pilar Vargas, a forest engineer working for City Hall. “We built and built and built. There wasn’t a lot of thought about the impact on the climate. It became obvious that had to change.”
Efforts began in 2016 under Medellín’s then mayor, Federico Gutiérrez (who, after completing one term in 2019, was re-elected at the end of 2023). The city launched a new approach to its urban development — one that focused on people and plants.
The $16.3 million initiative led to the creation of 30 Green Corridors along the city’s roads and waterways, improving or producing more than 70 hectares of green space, which includes 20 kilometers of shaded routes with cycle lanes and pedestrian paths.
These plant and tree-filled spaces — which connect all sorts of green areas such as the curb strips, squares, parks, vertical gardens, sidewalks, and even some of the seven hills that surround the city — produce fresh, cooling air in the face of urban heat. The corridors are also designed to mimic a natural forest with levels of low, medium and high plants, including native and tropical plants, bamboo grasses and palm trees.
Heat-trapping infrastructure like metro stations and bridges has also been greened as part of the project and government buildings have been adorned with green roofs and vertical gardens to beat the heat. The first of those was installed at Medellín’s City Hall, where nearly 100,000 plants and 12 species span the 1,810 square meter surface.
“It’s like urban acupuncture,” says Paula Zapata, advisor for Medellín at C40 Cities, a global network of about 100 of the world’s leading mayors. “The city is making these small interventions that together act to make a big impact.”
At the launch of the project, 120,000 individual plants and 12,500 trees were added to roads and parks across the city. By 2021, the figure had reached 2.5 million plants and 880,000 trees. Each has been carefully chosen to maximize their impact.
“The technical team thought a lot about the species used. They selected endemic ones that have a functional use,” explains Zapata.
The 72 species of plants and trees selected provide food for wildlife, help biodiversity to spread and fight air pollution. A study, for example, identified Mangifera indica as the best among six plant species found in Medellín at absorbing PM2.5 pollution — particulate matter that can cause asthma, bronchitis and heart disease — and surviving in polluted areas due to its “biochemical and biological mechanisms.”
And the urban planting continues to this day.
The groundwork is carried out by 150 citizen-gardeners like Pineda, who come from disadvantaged and minority backgrounds, with the support of 15 specialized forest engineers. Pineda is now the leader of a team of seven other gardeners who attend to corridors all across the city, shifting depending on the current priorities...
“I’m completely in favor of the corridors,” says [Victoria Perez, another citizen-gardener], who grew up in a poor suburb in the city of 2.5 million people. “It really improves the quality of life here.”
Wilmar Jesus, a 48-year-old Afro-Colombian farmer on his first day of the job, is pleased about the project’s possibilities for his own future. “I want to learn more and become better,” he says. “This gives me the opportunity to advance myself.”
The project’s wider impacts are like a breath of fresh air. Medellín’s temperatures fell by 2°C in the first three years of the program, and officials expect a further decrease of 4 to 5C over the next few decades, even taking into account climate change. In turn, City Hall says this will minimize the need for energy-intensive air conditioning...
In addition, the project has had a significant impact on air pollution. Between 2016 and 2019, the level of PM2.5 fell significantly, and in turn the city’s morbidity rate from acute respiratory infections decreased from 159.8 to 95.3 per 1,000 people [Note: That means the city's rate of people getting sick with lung/throat/respiratory infections.]
There’s also been a 34.6 percent rise in cycling in the city, likely due to the new bike paths built for the project, and biodiversity studies show that wildlife is coming back — one sample of five Green Corridors identified 30 different species of butterfly.
Other cities are already taking note. Bogotá and Barranquilla have adopted similar plans, among other Colombian cities, and last year São Paulo, Brazil, the largest city in South America, began expanding its corridors after launching them in 2022.
“For sure, Green Corridors could work in many other places,” says Zapata."

Working Out A Plan of Action
As I realised during previous aborted attempts at gathering the wherewithall to sell online courses, there is a fair bit of technology involved and each platform is in its own world and has its own pricing system, geared up to onboard as many subscribers as possible. This is my second post, written in early November 2023. I will be posting one each day until hopefully I have caught up with where…

Femme Fatale Guide: How To Set Long-Term Goals
Consider this mind reframe when setting a long-term goal: Long-term goals are a string of short-term goals that work together to culminate in a more nuanced or lofty outcome.
In my opinion, I believe that long-term goals should be determined based on how they positively support a certain aspect of your lifestyle, rather than designed with a strict plan in mind (at least for 5-10 year goals). As we know from the past few years, our long-term plans can easily fall through due to factors out of our control.
So, with these variables in mind, I would say you need to split your long-term goals into 2 main categories:
Evergreen Goals: These goals are fairly straightforward and rely more on an input-output method to achieve them vs. many external variables or contextual success attached to them. Examples of evergreen goals would be saving for retirement or maintaining a healthy body/weight loss/getting a certain certificate training or degree (not in a specific program, but in a general field), and acquiring items like a designer bag. You're in control of whether you put a certain amount of money into an investment portfolio, how much energy you consume in a day, and how much time you spend filling out applications/studying material. While external factors play a role, the success of these goals heavily depends on your determination, consistency, and focus. You just have to play the long game vs. the short-term game to see the results you desire.
Dynamic Goals: These goals take a lot of external factors into account and can heavily rely on many different parties to ensure you succeed. These long-term goals can be to work in a certain type of position or company, graduate with a specific degree or from a specific university/program, live in your dream home, become a successful business owner/author, etc, find a specific type of partner, etc. While self-betterment paired with consistent, strategic, and focused effort play a significant (majority) factor in these goals, you still need the stars to align for these goals to actualize in the way you currently envision them in your mind.
So, when creating long-term goals (especially dynamic goals), set these 5-10-year goals with the intention to be unrelenting about the outcome and flexible about the path to achieving them. Envision the result you desire and why that would improve your life/happiness. Then, work your way backward to the smaller milestone goals you would need to achieve. Once you get to the first major "milestone" that needs to be completed, devise creative and strategic solutions to begin working on this shorter-term goal. Make your 5-year goal into a series of 5 1-year plans. Reverse engineer to embrace the endless possibilities and potential for your success.
Hope this helps xx
