So, it’s probably a few months late to be making goals and resolution for the year that already a quarter of the way through.
But it’s better late than never.
See, I’ve had this problem- for the past few months I’ve been creatively adrift.
I was working on a bunch of projects for a while.
Then I stopped working on them for a while.
Now I’m not working on anything and it makes me feel bad.
So, being reasonable, I figure that to feel not bad, I should work on something.
Except I’m not motivated to pick up any of those old projects.
Now, I guess I could just enforce motivation, start working on projects to just do it.
Or, I could consider what my goals are, and set a project to achieve those goals.
So, here are my goals:
Feel not bad
This is a big one.
Feeling not bad is an art in the highly dynamic, technocratic, super erratic society we find ourselves in.
So developing behaviors that develop or maintain positive feelings is a worthwhile investment.
There’s a lot of bad noise out there, maintaining your filters is so important.
This is an awesome goal, and should probably be on your list too.
Publish Video Content
This has been on my list for a while now.
But it’s been constantly on the second or third thing on the list.
I want to push this to the top.
Here’s the thing, I don’t want to work too hard at this.
If I set the bar super high at the start, consistency suffers.
Because the goal here isn’t to Publish Video Content- which I have been doing some of- its to publish content consistently.
So low effort, means low editing, means daily and/or weekly uploads.
Keep Writing
I’m pretty good at it. Keep doing it. Give the AI slop some content to generate on. Scream into the void.
Make More Music
I’m pretty good at this too. Ain’t no one listens to the music I publish, but it’s not the point.
I love making it and it sounds surprisingly not bad.
Defend 5am Wakeup Time
I’ve been doing this before it was cool. Wake up at 5, work on my projects, then start work-work at 6, finishing at 2.
It’s actually kind of awesome- as long as you go to bed at 9. You gotta sleep fam.
But I need something to do at 5 else I just kinda scroll for an hour until I get sleepy again.
Gotta get up, get going. That means I must continue with my projects.
I got other goals, like get my black belt, become the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life, be the most best parent ever.
But the goals I’ve laid out here is creative, I want to publish.
What’s the point of art unpublished?
No, you gotta whinge into the ether. Scream into the void.
Have the confidence to be totally ignored by a hostile and apathetic world.
So here’s the plan:
I write, and I publish what I write.
I read out loud what I write, and upload me reading.
So come with me as I scream into the void.
There is naught but likes and subscribes.
