August 11, 2016
Dear Friend,
948 hours, or, 41 days. That’s the amount of time I have until I leave on my mission, and it has become apparent that somehow I have allowed Facebook, Youtube and Netflix to take over my time. Therefore, I need to start cutting myself off from such distractions, otherwise I’ll be hopelessly doomed come September 21st. So, I’ve decided to spend the time I would normally use on Social Media enjoying what time I have left with family and friend alike. Starting today, I vow to spend no more than 30 minutes a day on these time wasters. It’s time to begin enjoying the world, not just seeing it between glances at my phone.
Now, I understand that do to the majority of my time being spent at work, I need to find meaningful memories to make within short incriminates of time, anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours, and this proves to be a challenging task, so today I will spend my time finding ideas. Someone once told me that the most meaningful memories are the shortest and simplest ones, and I intend to prove this idea unequivocally.
More to come later today...Best,

-Hunter
