Setting up a schedule for the old blog here

Had a thought recently to start organizing what it is I talk about on this blog so as to better take care of it and use it to its fullest. I'm constantly shifting focus between my many many passions and at times on a blog like this it can get confusing for audience members as well as the blogger himself. So as to better serve all of my passions I've decided to break up the days into what it is I will post about. What I came up with is this:

Sunday-Art
Monday-Art
Tuesday-Writing
Wednesday- Acting
Thursday-Art
Friday-Writing
Saturday-Acting

I believe that this schedule will not only bring a needed focus to the blog but also organize my time better as well. I've always been a person who needed structure in my life otherwise I seem to flounder about and do things to sporadically. Its important as an artist to be creatively spontaneous but that doesn't mean to only do things at the spur of the moment. You can harness that surprising creative burst energy into a managed slot of time where you focus your mind. At least that's what I think. We'll see. So tonight expect a blog geared toward writing.

2014

So the old year is out and the new year is in. 2014 has arrived, have you accomplished your goals of the past year? Yeah, me either. Want some helpful tips I learned myself? Even if you don't I'm still going to write it. Cool?

MIKE D. BURKE'S TIPS FOR ACHIEVING GOALS THIS YEAR:

1. MAKE THEM SMALLER- Break your goals down into manageable chunks.
2. MAKE THEM PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE-It'll be really annoying but tell someone you know all your goals, tell everyone. Use Facebook, twitter, schemer, google+, your mothers social group.
3. WRITE THEM DOWN- Keep track of them yourself as well. Keep a journal, a blog, write them down and post them on your fridge. Write them down.
4. HAVE A WAY TO CHECK THEM OFF

Now taking my own advice, here are my goals for 2014:

1. START MY CAREER
2. MARCH-OCT GO ON 1 TRIP A MONTH
3. PAY OFF A BILL OR TWO
4. GET FITTER
5. FINISH PROJECTS
6. SAVE $10 A MONTH
7. SET AN EASY TO FOLLOW BUDGET
8. BE A BETTER HUSBAND, FRIEND AND PERSON
9. BECOME MORE ORGANIZED
10. COMPLETE COMIC BOOK
11. READ ALL THE BOOKS I OWN
12. PICK UP MORE FREELANCE WORK
13. BLOG AND ADVERTISE MORE
14. BE MORE RESPONSIBLE
15. BE MORE OPEN
16. BE MORE CHARITABLE
17. JOURNAL MORE, CREATE MORE MEMORIES
18. GET GOALS DONE AND ACCOMPLISHED

A lot to work on, I know. Good luck to all of us!! 2014!!!!
