I saw a similar post on KVR and I thought it would be good to start something like that here. Since the New Year is right around the corner I thought I would make a post of my New Year's Resolution. Maybe we can periodically revisit this thread to check on our progress and keep each other accountable or something! Or not... 
Anyway...
My overall goal in 2013 is to be more consistent in how I spend my music time so that I can be more productive and have something to show for it when the year is up, and not just scattered odds and ends. The latter part of 2012 was kind of an experimental time for me in terms of figuring out new ways of recording and producing. I want 2013 to be about putting those skills to use. Also putting to work some of these cool new toys that I've acquired over time.
Another thing I would like to get back into is playing out live again. It's been quite a while since I've done that and it was always a real hassle, but now I think I have the tools and the knowledge to do it right... or at least to give it another try.
I guess another thing I really need to get my act together on is the whole social media/web thing. I was always too busy just making music to be bothered with the "promotion" side of it (or whatever you want to call it). But if making music is also about communication, then it isn't going to do me any good if nobody even knows or cares that I'm out here!
So, those are going to be my musical goals for 2013!
Oh... and one more... not to spend so much time online. Although this forum is going to be a problem as far as that one goes!
