Motivational Factors

Several things I need to accomplish this month include writing a few concise elevator speeches. I met with Alan Bryce of CenterStage today and I'm meeting with Chris Serface over at TLT on Friday, and I find myself floundering around when trying to answer questions. I need to memorize some talking points. I also need to start an online journal (separate from the blog) where I can keep track of all my thoughts and plans. I need to find a part time job with a regular schedule so I can cut way back on the stage handing. This past week has shown me how much working unpredictably and overmuch messes up my ability to focus on the theater. That won't work when we start production and I need to be on top of everything. I get distracted and under-motivated when I am not held accountable. I work well answering to you and I respect your professional expertise in theater management. I have a lot to learn. I'd love to hire (barter) someone to hold me accountable, or invite them onto the board of directors. However, theater people are super busy already. So I guess that question I have, is what steps do I take to manage myself effectively? Are there any ground rules I should put in from the beginning?
