Setting Goals

What I love so far about this online journal, is the fact that I can make statements that I am putting out the world, since this blog is technically for everyone's eyes.  (Unlike my written journal, which no one is allowed to see!)

I have some goals that I would like to work towards, and I feel that putting them on this blog is like putting them out into the universe.  So far, here is what is on my mind.  (In random order)

1.  Put together set lists for my NYC show on June 1st and my Toronto show on June 15th
2.  Have all selections memorized in time for the gigs.  (This is a big deal for me.  I was reading a lot of the music/lyrics on the gigs I did from September until February.  Some combination of not having enough time to prepare and not being able to remember anything, also known as "pregnancy brain".
3.  Practice piano and voice every day, even if it's just for a few minutes.
4.  Get caught up with my listening.  I have missed out on a lot of new CDs in the last few years, and I'd like to finally check some of this stuff out.  Stacey Kent, Gretchen Parlato, Dan Tepfer's Goldberg Variations, Peter Eldridge's Mad Heaven, etc.
5.  I'd like to get rid of my hard copy CDs once and for all.  This requires burning many of them into my CD hard drive, so I can pack the jewel boxes away and clear out some more room in my living space.

I'm sure more will be added to this list, but for the time being this is where I'm at.
