2014 was a formative year where I made great progress with my personal development (read my review of the year here). I want 2015 to be even better, hopefully with less of the sucky stuff.
Every year, instead of setting New Year’s Resolutions, I set big scary goals and smaller personal goals, breaking each of these down into an action plan and manageable weekly/monthly tasks. Here are mine for 2015!
BIG SCARY IMPORTANT GOALS
- Record and release an EP
- Record an album
- Put together and release a demos album
- Do a live-stream internet gig
- Professionally film some live performance music videos
- Film and release a music video
- Create new music promo materials (planner p.66)
- Redo Couch to 5K
- Go to a party
SMALLER PERSONAL GOALS
- Set aside time to write music/lyrics weekly
- Set up a joint account for household expenses
- Tone up
- Get at least 1 more tattoo
- Do at least another 10 yoga classes (with a new teacher)
- Learn how to do a proper push up
