A Little Bit Of Planning Goes A Long Way!

Good morning, fellow artists! I’m excited to jump into my new blog entry. I am lucky to have a home office where I can create and administer my career. I love sitting in my red, leather executive chair and operating from my large, powerful desk. My desk sports framed paintings, photographs, action figures, and trinkets that inspire and move me. Additional paintings, plus my Declaration of Independence (DOIN) and Vassar College degree, hang on my wall. Various books that have transported me into different places and worlds sit to my left. These authors are inspirational, thought-provoking, fabulous, and accomplished in their respective fields. Above the books, sitting on top of the mantle, are a few celebrations I purchased. These celebrations include a record player and a Sarah Connor “Terminator 2” action figure. I am surrounded by things that feed and fuel me. I love working from my home office. It’s my power base. It’s my artistic sanctuary.

On Monday, February 3rd, I walked upstairs to my home office to create a plan of attack for both short-term and long-term goals. Using my DOIN as a guide, I started writing down ideas for my administration plan (aka my to-do list) on paper. These ideas ranged from the simple to the more complex. I didn’t censor any ideas that came to me. From this initial list of ideas I generated, I plugged them into my 2025 planner and got to work. Since this past Monday, I’ve been cooking with my administration. Executing my administration and checking things off my to-do list made me feel powerful, accomplished, and inspired. IT FEELS SO GOOD TO ADMINISTER MY CAREER. It feels so good to do for ME. Keep reading below 🙂

A little planning goes a long way in building morale and spirit because I’m in action. I’m moving forward one step at a time. I’m doing things that I’m passionate about. I’m putting myself out there. I’m crossing things off my list, and it feels good! A little planning goes a long way in making things more tangible and reachable for me. A little planning goes a long way because it inspires and generates other ideas for me to tackle. A little planning goes a long way because it makes me the CEO of my enterprise. I am the boss.

I’m carrying over two goals from 2024: 1) Book supporting roles in feature films produced and distributed by independent or mid-sized studios and 2) Finish the second draft of “The Third Act” feature film script with Kelly Tighe. Keep reading below 🙂

See you all next week!
