Today was, far and away, the most productive day of the weekend. Not only that, but it was the most productive day I've had in the studio in the last couple of weeks.
I got a lot of listening done (Gaslight Anthem, Arctic Monkeys, Spoon), while also managing to do some playing, and get a few other long term projects kick-started again.
It's hard to believe that it was a year ago yesterday that we moved into this place. It has been 365 days that I've had a place to call my own when it comes to musical adventures. Having that space as a respite, and a place to work on learning and improving has been a blessing. I haven't accomplished everything I hoped to in a year, there are still lyrics to write and a record to finish, but the plus side of that is that a record got started this past year.
There is definitely still some organizing to do (I could use one more bookshelf), and there are CDs aplenty that need to find a bit better home than they currently have. Also, after a year, the walls are empty. Not for lack of posters to hang up, but instead from a lack of actually just putting them up.
In the last year, I have proved to myself that I can work and learn in that space, regardless of how well organized it is. This coming year, I need to keep working and learning, and also get things squared away a little bit better. Optimizing the usage of that space is one of the keys to increasing my productivity, and the faster I can do that, the quicker I can be headed down the road to where I'd like to be.
