Listen to me as you read this post!
It is likely that I am nearing the end of the period of time I expected to be "less busy" (i.e. my break in between shows). Despite my expectations, this time has been JUST as busy as performance periods. The nice thing is that things I've been doing have been on my own schedule, which has been pretty flexible.
There are just so many things I want to do! What things?
1. Playing Skyrim
2. Reading the Bible
3. Reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series
4. Practicing my tap dancing skills and watching tap dancing videos per my instructor's advice
5. Rehearsing my songs for Erin Fagundes' recital in February
6. Relaxing in the newly filled and heated hot tub
7. Throwing a party
8. Going out to clubs & restaurants
9. Blogging
10. Perusing Facebook
11. Watching TV series' on DVD
12. Going on dates
13. Working out
14. Reading things to improve my knowledge and skills related to the following topics: investing & mutual funds, pharmaceutical compliance, business acumen, acting, people skills, possible graduate programs, music production, scientific knowledge
15. Perusing a billion different distracting websites (see the list of links on the right --> )
16. Simply hanging out with or calling friends
17. Writing my next letter to the awesome Emma Vander Weele
18. Cleaning my room/ the house
19. Doing laundry
20. Setting up/fixing my computer
I'm sure I could continue to think of many other things to occupy my time. I've always been VERY good at keeping myself occupied, and it always seems strange to me when people suffer from boredom.
This is the choice: Which of these things deserve my attention, and which should be forsaken? The responsible choice would be do focus only the things that would create a better future for me. But that's pretty unrealistic right? No one can be productive ALL the time! Plus, if and when I am cast in another show, my free time will become severely limited once again!
So which things should I be cutting out? Which should I be limiting?
So far, these are the things I KNOW I need to do consistently:
1. Practicing tap dancing
2. Rehearsing my vocal selections
3. Reading the Bible
4. Exercising
5. Doing Laundry
6. Reading something to improve a skill. Which skill?
These are the things I KNOW I need to get better at limiting:
1. Playing Skyrim
2. Watching TV show episodes
3. Perusing websites and Facebook
4. Going out to restaurants and clubs
I'll think more on this and maybe get back to you. Thoughts and comments are welcome!
