1.) Clean off my desk: Those nasty loose leaf papers, all of which represent uneasily solved problems, won’t sort or solve themselves. An hour a day, perhaps before or after regularly scheduled work hours, should do the trick. After a week, I might just have a clean desk.
2.) Deal with my phone call list: Start at the top (calls received longest ago) rather than the end.
3.) Sort through the reams of artist materials I receive weekly: Regularly scheduled listening and score reading sessions should help whittle down the stacks considerably.
4.) Hang those framed photos and posters I’ve had stacked against my office walls since we moved into our Jay Pritzker Pavilion offices in May 2004. I think it’s finally time.
5.) Organize my office CD collection and bookshelves. A simple visit to the container store to buy some organizers should help me get going. Remember, the longest journey starts with but one step, so…it’s one shelf at a time.
Happy New Year!
