Goals
I’m not against setting goals by any means, but which type of goal is important.
‘Tis the season, for example, to finally, FINALLY whip some tunes together and record that EP, and do it by April goddammit. And you do it, and it’s great, and you check it off your list and move on.
But what if the goal’s simply to write music every day? You write write write, and when it’s time to make that EP, turns out you have enough material for a full-length, along with the first act of a musical.
Results-based goals are fine, but by changing our behavior, our identity, we’re capable of so much more.
