Start 2011

January 2nd, 2011 by hmatt

New Year’s day is for sleeping.

Thus, I consider today the first day to focus.

I have a lot of things on my mind and I’m attempting to get them out of my head, and then start whittling them down. The first thing I tried to do was update my “fun things to do” list. Then I realized that I could sub-divide it into cost or time of day or places… et cetera.

Then I stopped, and asked myself what the purpose of this was. Yes it could make it easier to sort through, but then I’d be back to having a gigantic list of possible fun things to do. A better use of my time today is to work on the To Do list I already have. I’ve been doing this for the last week, but there are still a lot of duplicate entries which make the list bigger than it needs to be.

I have a whole section of my To Do’s that require me to write up MORE lists. I truly do have too many goals.

The biggest one is to work on my social life. I have friends that I deeply care about, but LA being what it is- they are often busy. The only solution is to spread out my love for my friends and find pockets of time that work for others too. A first idea with this was to set up more ‘group’ type events. Things like Pop Culture night. I’ve since re-discovered the problems of such weekly events. You have to remind people all the time and find stuff to watch.. I should get a buddy to help me out with all that- it is too difficult to do alone all the time.

The next big thing is my acting career- and that begins with the kids show I’m doing. I’ve been telling people I meet that I am an actor and I have a kids show online. Now that the holidays are over (FINALLY) my life can get back on track and I can start progress on this. My goal is still 50 segments by March 1, and I KNOW I can do it.

First up- I’m going to get a bunch of ASL/SPANISH videos taped and then ready them for processing. Then onto bigger projects.

Okay, enough documenting my thoughts- now is the time for action!
