My Plan For Summer (GYST)
Summers always feel nice because you can just do whatever you feel like for a few months, but as this next one approaches I can’t help but feel like it’s an opportunity that I should try not to waste. I’ve been wanting to get in better shape for a while now, I want to learn how to play guitar, and I want to get back into creating things. I’m always hesitant to call something that I make “art” but that’s basically what I mean.
I’ll have a lot more free time for about three months, so why not try scheduling that time? Wake up in the morning, walk/jog/run for three miles or so, practice guitar for about two hours, and then try to make stuff for another two hours. I tend to wake up around 6am, so even if I take my sweet time I should be able to get that all in by noon. That leaves me another 10-12 hours to still do whatever I want with my day. Visit friends, play video games, read, etc. If I can keep that up I feel like I can really accomplish something over summer.
I really want to get myself to stick to this, so I’m going to make weekly videos for Youtube that show my progress. I figure that if people can see what I’m doing I’ll be much more motivated to do something worthwhile. Feel free to follow along or ignore any posts about this stuff. The knowledge that it’s out there and visible is much more important to me than whether or not people are actually looking. My last day of class is on the 20th so I’m hoping to have the first video come out on the 27th.
