Quater Goals

Why is a New Year both a good thing and a bad thing? Well, mainly it's good because everyone get's all motivated and inspired to "make this new year___" somehow better, wiser, more abundant, healthier, cleaner, shiny, etc. But that is a lot of pressure. Do everything BETTER. NOW> START NOW> Oye, it makes me want to go back to bed! But,

My husband works in financial quarters,
Jan, Feb, March=1 quarter.
April, May, June=2 quarter.
July, Aug, Sept=3rd quarter.
October, Nove, Dec=4th quarter.

I am proposing this for myself. Look at goals via quarter not year. It is the whole baby step thing.

So each quarter I have a goal for my career.

I had a friend tell me once she looks at acting as a full time job, thus she puts 40 hours of work into her career each week. awesome. And, then I look at me...Yes, I have done a lot of really cool things. I have done all kinds of theater, children's theater, shakespeare, performance art, experimental dance, movies, commercials, sketches, stand-up, long form improv, short form improv, promotions,

SO, since i rarely use this blog....and honestly 2009 i barely did anything substantial acting wise. I have to ask myself..."is this the right career for me?" I hate asking it, because I want to fight to the death to prove it is, but I have to be sure. No doubt. No fear.

So.
My goal for this first quarter of 2010 is to use this blog weekly...and to keep track of my acting hours.
so then i can see....how much time do i really commit to my acting....
what counts as acting creative log hours?
*submitting myself for acting or theater/film related work
*exersize
*auditions
*rehearsals
*writing
*performances /gigs
*filming video
*editing video
*painting/drawing/crafting
*reading
*watching movies, tv, etc. commercials for research

seems easy....but is it?
