Goals: 8 Month Review

So I did this as I usually do. And then I erased most of my comments on my own list and decided I needed to look at it from another perspective. I need to look at the list now as in not what I've done but what I need to do to get it done. B/c I'm almost 29. And I'd like to check some things off!

Just finish already!----------------------------------------------
6. Send 5 birthday cards- Friday Oct 23: Finish and send

15. write, shoot, edit 1 CCP review for YouTube. -Aug Hold
Friday: Find all notes and do a redraft. Make list of what need to find/photographs or otherwise. Shoot November 7th?

21. Call/write my Grandmother once a month.
Oct- Saw her in person. Should start November letter now.
Create list of topics to write about for the next few weeks.
November- San Fran stay: gather decent pics of the stay. Especially ones of Z and I, or just me.


22. Thank You cards for birthday presents.
Friday or Saturday take the picture, bring to kinkos or print off at office?

18. No bed piles.
Weekend (oct 23-25) : clean bed piles and night stand. Try and pick up every night for 5 minutes before go to bed.


Slow and Steady Wins the Race----------------------------------------------

1. Pay $1500 in school loans-
Oct- Friday Oct 23, make a budget. Figure this out again.

2. Create at least $500 cushion in bank account
Oct-See #1

3. Attain 2 octave singing scale
Figure out new singing goals. Not sure what this means yet. Also, figure out a singing practice schedule.

8. (changed Aug to wedding goals)SavetheDates, Invites, 2 installation projects, flags, fabric flowers:
Figure this out on other list. Take off here? This weekend (Oct 23-25 plan this out.)
Oct- Still haven't finished Save the Dates. Close. But close doesn't count.
Sept- Save the dates are half done. Theoretically finished by Oct 1. We. Shall. See.


FINISHED:----------------------------------------------
7. Send cards for one holiday-
Oct- *cough* Finished.


ON HIOLD----------------------------------------------
10. Learn Flash-aug hold



Not SURE the plan----------------------------------------------
11. Design and do photoshoot.-
Ideas:
- I'm starting to lean toward "weather ideas." (Oh I should insert links!) However maybe I should do something that involves flags (in that I will have about 800 of them.) A sea of flags? Have the water be flags and then make a cardboard boat?

12. Direct music video.-
Try and finish song with Paul and then shoot. But think about in terms of all inside shooting. Or as much inside shooting as possible.

13. Shoot a short.
Oct- Do the Paranoid one. It's cute. It's short. It requires a cop uniform.

14. Write, create, shoot, edit super short stop motion-
Oct- Finish this after the play is over. This will be finished in time for the wedding. Just throwing that out there.

24. (May 9th add) Write rough draft 1 of a feature screenplay.
Figure out a writing plan. This may not be a part of this year's goals or maybe a truncated part will be.

9. Get through 5 drafts of 3 shorts total (includes at least 3 people writing comments on each draft.)-
I need to pick 3 and focus on writing and rewriting them. Will probably be:
Your Paranoid short- mostly b/c this would be filmable
Zach's Taco Shack
+1?
Stories:
Phone Calls- Still rough drafting
Car Faith- Found draft an dam working.
Happy Birthday- rough Draft 1.
Cranes- Story board draft 1 complete.


5. Finish writing 1 song with accompaniment. (Guitar and/or piano)-
Oct- This has come full circle. I'm no longer sure I can rely on Paul to work with me on music. So I'm not totally sure what I should do here. Although I do have a polished cut he did. If I can make the music work with that I don't really require his help anymore. The cut isn't exactly what I want but it might be fine. Or I just learn how to play guitar and do an acoustic version! (Haha. Hahahahah!)


In Summary:
OK. I have my weekend planned. This is good. This is exactly what I need. And I will be able to break it down even more in the weekend again. Hurrah!
