The best memory of 2011 thread revealed to me that my 2011 was a pretty mediocre year and I need to have a better 2012. So this thread is dedicated to that. Anyone else who wants to have a better year this time is welcome to contribute their own ideas.

- I need to learn more stuff in 2012. I didn't learn enough in 2011. I can't think of any really big thing that I learned last year. I think it's been a long time since that happened.

That's the main thing I've come up with so far.

Any other ideas?

Apart from the struggle to compose something "classical" (I have "composed" some music in the realm between Rock and Folk, some sort of Progressive Rock I guess) I need to figure out what I want to do with my life, and the past year only made me more confused. The good things were that I finally had my first job, got to live abroad and this was the year when I truly fell in love with Classical Music.
Oh, and I've got a lot of books I need to read. Can't find time for them with all this music.
Edit: And I really need to find a partner.

I used to take at least one big trip each year and 2011 didn't produce such a trip; not even a little one. I've gotta take a step back and find a way to make more money working less and still doing what I love doing. I looking into major studio drum and bass work as well as voice-overs. Chocolate silk, eh Countess? ;)

I am trying to employ more patience when composing. I often find, even just half an hour ago, that I have plenty of good ideas but my tendency is to rush in. It's not so much that I think I need to plan things out better, planning has never worked for me, but just that I need to learn to take my time when writing.

Buy more Schnittke. I was even thinking of having this put onto a button badge.

Other than getting the flu after getting the flu shot, '11 was a very good year.

I don't believe in Santa (only Bad Santa), so I feel silly about wishing for something in '12, or any year.

I do believe you make your own luck for the most part. Anything else is a bonus...icing on the cake.

Be well, go well.
