Goals idea; fun. Here are mine organized in order of dependence & for year vs. week… Also maybe more for me to feel accountable so no oblig to read all (or I might have to do ‘em). How bout you guys?

PREP

• Image consulting (help!)

• New wardrobe items/ideas (might be hard ‘cause outside NYC I’m more utility/tree-hugging/grunge/bohemian… yeah yeah I know not at all hip these days but that’s how I grew up so what can I say :)
• New headshots (suggestions? headshot or 3/4? people seem to like Peter Hurley, one of my favs is Jordan Matter for natural light)
• Wallpaper agents/CDs/etc (I don’t think I’ve ever done a mass mailing to these)

WORK (EXTERNAL)

• Audition lots (big, small, no-pay, whatever… just wanna have fun seeing what works and get more exp)

• Build demo reel footage (ditto)
• Soap classes (likely Bob Lambert, but open to suggestions)
• Submit for Soaps, L&O, Sopranos, etc
• Submit for Commercials
• Submit for History/Travel Channel/Lonely Planet (wanna leverage Anthro/expedition/hosting background)

WORK (INTERNAL)

• Create some kinda mini web series (comedy? hosting? not sure xactly what form yet, something short & simple to have creative fun w/ while getting butt kicked in realworld auditions)

• Pitch some tv shows (americanpres, filmedhere, greenliving, etc)
• Keep practicing/learning stuff (this group, etc)

PERSONAL (INFLUENCE ACTING)

• Decide on finishing personal project websites (www.ratbagindie.com, www.theunpaved.com, www.castingnotes.com, etc)
• Get an apt closer to/in city (long-term single? short-term roommate?) DONE! (short term until spring ‘08)
• Get a Mac :-) DONE!
• Get off caffeine (yeah right…)
• Learn to play or sing some kind of garage band music (def for later)
• Revisit Europe/travel (indie-style)

Btw website that does some of this is 43Things (personal fav though not a member).
