Adam Martin's Bucket List by Adam Martin https://padlet.com/25martina6/kcidwr46mt11rhs6 Made with love. en-us 2021-12-09 17:08:00 UTC 2025-10-12 13:24:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/1493625173/31b00d6f9fe73527b8545c67f39ca812/image0__2__removebg_preview.png Smart goal #1 25martina6 https://padlet.com/25martina6/kcidwr46mt11rhs6/wish/1938746335 I will practice my bass guitar 3 times a week for 20 minutes, until my concert in a year.

Motivation - This is both an extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. This is because practicing my bass will give me the reward of being better at the instrument. I also just want to play the bass more, which applies to intrinsic.

How will I achieve this goal? - I will set a timer to go off on the days that I want to practice at a certain time. when the timer goes off I will practice for 20 minutes. I can schedule events on days that I don't need to practice. This will give me more time to practice my instrument. Another thing I can do is remove distractions from the place I practice. This will make sure that I actually practice and not get distracted by other things.

Tracking My Progress - I can have a calender of some sort, and I can put a check on the days I practiced. If I miss a day, then I can plan ahead on the calendar and pick a day to make it up.

Obstacles - 
Procrastination: I have to just do the task, no matter how much I don't feel like doing it.

To busy: If I'm too busy to practice I just have to wait to practice until if free. I'll still learn each time I practice I'll just fall behind a little.

Qualities:
1. Patience - I need to be patient when learning an instrument, it takes time to learn something new.
2. Interested - I can't learn an instrument if I don't actually like it.
3. Educated - Instead of trying to teach myself, it's good to learn from a professional
4. Highly committed - I need to be committed to taking up 20 minutes, three times a week.
5. Courage - I need to have the courage to get good at this instrument.

Positive Effect - If I learn to play the bass better, than I will have better knowledge on music and instruments.

Negative Effect - If I don't learn the bass better than I will just be struck at the skill level I'm at now.

Reflection - This project does not really push me any further into achieving my goal than I already want to. It just gives me a plan if I want to pursue it. ]]> 2021-12-09 17:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/25martina6/kcidwr46mt11rhs6/wish/1938746335 Smart goal #2 25martina6 https://padlet.com/25martina6/kcidwr46mt11rhs6/wish/1938787355  I will run on the treadmill for 30 minutes on the days that I don't have gym until the end of the year.
