Making myself accountable by putting these out into the public domain. Resolutions are for fat people and Communists.

Anyone else?

I really don't want to still be doing this job this time next year..

You want to stay in the same field or move into doing something else?

move to manchester
go to india and japan for a few months
buy more trainers

Stop procrastinating as much as I do now

- make more tunes i like
- put my head down and actually work instead of procrastinating
-stop moaning about not going out, and go out

Easily quantifiable.

How much is that going to cost all in vs. how much do you have saved at the moment?

gwa wrote:buy more trainers

Nice

How many extra pairs, like 5, 10 etc?

Move downtown

A little vague and hard to really say whether they've done or not. What do you consider to be the main cause of your procrastination? Is it a lack of motivation in a given area, or too many distractions in other areas?

How many more tunes?

And how many times a year/month do you want to go out?

(that last one has reminded me of something I told myself I'd do, have updated OP, cheers )

FUCK MO BITCHES / MAKE MO P

- Graduate in my masters
- Get full time graduate job

EDIT: Somehow fit in a part-time language course (German probably)
- Save money each month rather than spend every single penny every month (most likely won't happen)

nothing specific, it just takes me ages to make a tune so i want to try and better my workflow. i'm happy with the music i make though, i enjoy listening to it.

and as for the going out thing, i always moan about sitting in on fridays/saturdays, when i could be going out. idk why i do it!
to be fair its nice having chilled weekends sometimes

got enough to go for around 8-9 months if were saying a G a month and flights but i doubt i'll be gone for that long. see how it works out, won't be booking a return flight when i book my outgoing.

trainers vary month to month with what gets released. if there's nothing i like then i won't buy!

So you don't feel you would benefit from putting an actual amount on it (for example, a tune a month or something)?

I agree that forcing yourself out the house isn't always preferable, much as I enjoy a weekend on the sofa or in front of the computer from time to time. However, getting out is always a good thing. When you say going out, do you mean to listen to music, to go walking in the country, into town for drinks etc?

also i will visit bristol in the new year!!!!

That's a pretty balling amount of savings, reckon you do it right you can live well for that. Have you looked into flight cost variations based on the seasons etc?

gwa wrote:also i will visit bristol in the new year!!!!

HAHAHA, yeah I need to do that as well I reckon. Added to the OP

So;

- What area(s) do you want to move into?
- What skills/qualifications do you perhaps need to think about getting to allow for such a move (if any)?
- Have you updated your CV recently? .
