Data hygiene hooray!
I just made a giant google spreadsheet list of EVERYTHING I've ever worked on -- student films to national theatrical releases to proposal designs for projects that never went anywhere. 74 so far, and I think I've left a few things out!
Seeing that all organized is almost as satisfying as when I cleaned out my whole closet a month ago. It's... brain-tidying or something. Next comes listing out everything I might ever want to include in a demo reel, picking the best stuff and storing those clips somewhere in the cloud. I haven't touched any of my self-promotional materials in years, and I've gotten a lot better as an animator since I last made a reel. Now I want to show off what I can do. :-)
Long-term resolutions include being better about networking, following graphics news more closely (both from a technical and creative standpoint), updating my website more often and keeping my skills up-to-date.
Short term resolutions involve getting a giant hamburger for dinner.
