Insanely busy day at work today! I got up early this morning, and made it down to Half Price Books to exchange the guitar licks DVD I had gotten the other day. I simply swapped out the one that skipped for one that (hopefully) won't skip. Haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet, but hey, there's always tomorrow night for that.
Tonight when I got home, I took a few minutes for myself, just to sit and decompress, and then I took a quick look at what I've laid out for the binder thus far. I'm trying to piece together a series of small steps that (hopefully) won't take too long to complete, but will push the progress forward on the binder. I stumbled across something else I had started way back when that has only been half finished, so that seems like a logical place to begin. Aside from locating the notes in each key on fretboard diagrams, I had also started what I recognize now as a theory notebook, where I was jotting down vital info (notes, number of sharps and flats, tonic/dominant/sub-dominant/relative minor chords, etc.) for each key. That seems to be a starting point for getting back in the flow. After that, I need to find a way (maybe by photographing them) to get the articles I want to include into some format that will work for the binder.
I'm still counting on S. and I working through "Classical Gas" when he comes down over his break from school, so while that can go in the binder, it doesn't need to be focused on yet. I would like, however, to figure out the initial group of songs that will make it in as things to work on. I know I'd had a few ideas on that a week and a half or so back, but I probably ought to revisit that just to see if they hold up.
All in all, still feeling really good. And a solid night of work on the binder tomorrow ought to put me in a much better spot.
