LuketheXjesse Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 1. Lower time spent on OCR daily.2. increase time spent playing guitar/bass daily. 3. Watch what I eat. 4. Manage my money better (because every time I see some album in Best Buy OMG WTF IS THIS QUEENSRŸCHE MUST BUY) 5. Get those Avenged Sevenfold tabs 7. Talk to that babe in economics class 8. Learn how to use FruityLoops or Reaper (or whatever else ) Today's Goal: Record a WIP for the Seiken Densetsu 3 project - or tommorow Some of you mentioned spending less time playing video games. To be fair this isn't a problem for me I just don't feel like 'em anymore. (Save for RE5 and SFIV) lol that wip hasn't even been started yet Anyway, OCR time is much lowered and I play guitar like 2-6 hours a day so that's going well. I certainly eat better. Managing money...eh, I guess. Avenged Sevenfold tabs I'm not bothering with, playing scales now. Not sure if I care about that babe anymore...and Reaper I'm really good at now, so all is well. Still too lazy to learn how to use FL though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I want a hug too! /has a history of screaming things out hours and days after certain things happen. Literally. Not joking.

Eino Keskitalo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 6. Practice keyboards and vocals for band This was actually followed by recording four songs in our rehearsal room. A friend of mine set up a couple of mics and recorded us, and yesterday night we edited/mixed/mastered the stereo track. So that was actually a bigger item than that and now it's done. Feels good. I'll probably post the stuff in the non-ReMix WIP forum later on. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Mokram Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I think we all have a list of things we'd like to get done in the back of our minds. So let's post those lists and help each other get productive. We can edit our posts to keep them updated and hopefully they'll get smaller and smaller. That's a wonderful idea! But I'm afraid I would fill an entire page with my sole VGM related 'to do list'. Let alone my life objectives. Not that I'm that busy, but I have a tendency to split thing into thousands of tiny other things & so on... So I'm gonna step down quietly, and remember what the great sage CHIPP D used to say: 1- LET'S DO IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legendary Zoltan Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 So how's everyone doing here? Did we actually accomplish some of the things we set out to do, or are we using this thread to whine about how busy we are? I've done a few of them so far. I got my taxes done and I planted some strawberries. I almost finished half of one of the things on my list. I've made headway on modeling my building (google sketchup). l have just finished doing some painting other art stuff for a assignment thats due in three hours. Everyone's making progress. That is good. I think the Donkey Kong Country remix ought to be my next goal. That's a wonderful idea! But I'm afraid I would fill an entire page with my sole VGM related 'to do list'. Let alone my life objectives. Not that I'm that busy, but I have a tendency to split thing into thousands of tiny other things & so on... So I'm gonna step down quietly, and remember what the great sage CHIPP D used to say: Thanks for the proponents. I'm a sage now! Hahaha. Why don't you try posting a list as an exercise in combining small tasks into a few number of large ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
