My goals for Feb:
Keep walking 10,000 steps a day. I will add 50 push-ups a day.
The key of the month with be E, with four sharps. I will play in that key every day and compose a few pieces in it.
I will learn the first Shostakovich Fugue all the way through, and two sections of Mompou's Música callada.
I will have a strong, detailed intellectual andamiaje of the Lorca / Music book, with everything except the complete list of the actual pieces of music that will be mentioned. Main ideas of the book, main ideas of each chapter. Architecture of the book.

OK, let's see. This is useful. I will do it in my way and then post that to my blog. I will think straighter if it's a non-parallel response to someone else's goals.

AFTER MARDI GRAS
1. Start following usual schedule, such that research, writing, recreational reading, other recreation, and yoga fit into the week; such that I can get out of town some weekends; such that I do not fall behind on work for classes.
2. Finish article 1 and start right in on article 2.

4. VERY important: follow up on tree trimmer.

MARCH
1. Blinds.
2. Carpenter for tables.
3. Garden.
[All of these are terribly distasteful to me and hard to even write down, I dislike house and yardwork so much. BUT I cannot seem to work well without beauty, so these things HAVE to be worked in somehow. If for even an hour a day I work on the garden, or work on finding someone to work on it, it will already be so much.]
4. Taxes, if I have not done these yet.
5. Keep working on article 2.
6. Make it to New Orleans, again.
7. Find to-do lists from past blog posts, elsewhere and make sure things are done.
8. Find out about university travel card.
9. See about doing all the sexual harassment and other trainings I am behind on.
10. VERY important: nail things down for April AAUP meeting!
Great. That's a to-do list, which is always helpful. Mine is more of a few simple goals that I can keep an eye on the whole month.
