When I arrived in Los Angeles two-and-a-half months ago I was extremely driven, and was doing a lot to better my career every day. It seems that, of late, my pace has slowed. I still submit for projects every day, audition, and shoot whenever I am called to do so. But the boundless energy to research, question, learn all I can about this industry has diminished.
I function best when I have far too much to do. I get close to nothing done when I actually have time to do work. Unlike college and 9-5 employment, no one else is setting my agenda in LA. While potentially liberating, it also means that no one is going to chastise me for not: submitting on projects, doing drop-offs to agents, or keeping my instrument sharp.
My solution has been to create structures for myself. I go to acting class every Wednesday, work on cold reads with my buddy Carl every Tuesday, and meet with my writing partner Gavin on a weekly basis. I also strive to Blog or write at least once a day. But that still leaves a lot of unscheduled time.
Sounds like I need to once again institute weekly staff meetings at Donovan Keith Inc.

"...keeping my instrument sharp."
...Why do you keep baiting me?
I think you know the answer to that question.
