It is time when people make resolutions only to break them in couple weeks. I don’t believe into starting something on first of January. However this is good time to check goal and make plans. My plan for year 2022 is to spend less money on everything. There have been times when I haven’t had money and now when I do I have spent it like preparing for times when I don’t have it. Have thought what I might want to do when I have less money and more time. This has lead to having lot of everything. Trying to get rid of this habit.
Habit has lead me to have good video and music making setups, big music library and lot of digital comics which I haven’t had time or energy to use, read or what ever. Not going to stop buying but concentrating on getting limited setups instead of getting everything I might want to use when I don’t have money. I could have got studio setup to point where I don’t need to buy any music gear on 2022. But don’t want to get everything at once just to have new year’s resolution.
The point is trying not to use all available money on something I might want to use in future. It won’t start 2022. I have done it before but will do more systematically on 2022. That is closest thing I have for new year’s resolution this time. Drawing and music courses continue. Trying to get more into doing than taking courses sometime during 2022. For drawing it should be current course and two or four more courses. Will not stop taking drawing courses after it but taking them slower and spend more time on drawing something. Should happen on first half of 2022.
For music it is more complicated. I don’t have as structured plan there. I want to learn good habits. That is why I have spent so much time taking courses instead of doing something same time. On music side I am trying a new thing which should unblock creativity. I’m not good playing keyboards. I can do it based on what I know from playing guitar but I am really bad at it. I bought Linnstrument 128. I should be able to play it with what I know from playing guitar and bass. Every scale I learn on guitar should be easy to apply on Linnstrument. Considered full sized Linnstrument but couldn’t justify price and size difference. Maybe I regret not getting full sized when I get good at playing it but at this time shorter was better option.
For videos I have no plans. Not for 2022 at least. Want to get back to making them but not sure what kind of videos. Have few ideas but there is long way to go before getting anything ready. Current pandemic doesn’t urge to go outside shooting videos and my flat ain’t cinematic. Talking about pandemic. I will be coming out of it better than going in. When ever it will end. Have lost lot of weight and had time to learn drawing and music. Still need to lose weight and learn but it is not over yet.
