ORGANIZATION
This is a very important issue for me, and I don't feel like clogging up the Saloon Bar anymore like a wailing drunkard.

The fact of the matter is I truly need to change major elements of my life completely but my organizational skills are lacking. My goal is to use this page and the associated talk page as an organization brainstorming and personal development plan area.

Organization Techniques and Plan
My current method of organizing things is a combination of a daily planner, a HipsterPDA, and Post-It notes.

Personal Development
My personal philosophy is that of : A Jack-of-all-trades is a Master at life.

I am also a pedagogue. Whatever I learn or figure out, I immediately want to share in detail with others.

This reasoning is what kept me motivated me in the Boy Scouts and also what inspired me to join the Cavalry. I have long admired self-sufficient and self-reliant people. Lewis and Clark, Thomas Edison, and the fictional MacGyver are not necessarily role-models, but definitely inspirations to me. Even when I play role-playing games, the idea of specialization is foreign to me. When I play RPGs, I want my character to be able to handle any challenge thrown at him under almost any circumstance.

As a mature adult, however, I need to be able to focus and specialize in something, as there are very few job opportunities for "A really great guy who knows a lot of practical stuff and can be handy in multiple situations".

I want to be able to branch out into an area other than the military. My current enlistment obligation prevents me from pursuing higher education in a scientific field, but I can't let that impede my personal growth. I want to find a balance between a rounded knowledge of "things" and a focused study and mastery of a "science topic", with an ultimate goal of teaching (at any level). My varied interests are what make it so difficult to decide on which topic or aspect of a topic.
