I feel like I have the opposite problem of you two: I am most certainly not accomplishment focused. I just want to live comfortably, do fun things and bring people enjoyment with my time on this earth. I don't have a career path, or an ideal professional narrative in mind. That makes a lot of people look at you strangely.

Accomplishment is a pretty general thing. If I say, "today I want to run 2 miles, make a nice dinner and then watch a film I've been meaning to see," and then do it, I would consider that an accomplishment. It does not need to be tied to career driven things. You can have a life devoid of "career" stuff and still be VERY accomplished by your own standards. It's definitely a subjective term.

I like to cross things off of a list. Period.

I want to say that's not my attitude to most things, but then I alt-tabbed to my TODO list of movies:

Different church, different verse >_<

Watch before Sunset this very instant.

And then Before Midnight right after it, maybe a day after it. My word is Linklater fantastic.

    Watch before Sunset this very instant.

I can add them to the list, but there's stuff on here that's been sitting in line for years, so no guarantees.

Have you watched Little Miss Sunshine? It's my favorite :D

Another hubski org-mode person! I use org-mode to organize my idea files which I mention in my comment addressing tng's question. It's an absolute boon.

That's true! I guess I just thought of it differently. I can see how that would make your days more fulfilling. I'm pretty dissatisfied and frankly bored with how my life goes by, maybe I should try planning everything, even the menial stuff.
