It would be cool if we had a self-improvement comm.

As leftists, we understand that a lot of individual problems are caused by systemic issues. However, I think that there is still a lot that can be done on the individual level to improve your life.

Most online self-improvement spaces have a reactionary slant and are dominated by the same type of guy, which is another great reason to have a self-improvement comm on this website.

EDIT: our awesome admins created the new comm and our awesome comrade @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net stepped up to moderate it, please check it out and start posting: https://hexbear.net/c/self_improvement

Are there any improovers here? What would you like to improve in 2024? Would you like to have a comm where we can hang out? solidarity

    I've already decided that 2024 was gonna be my year a few months ago.

    I'm going to get my upper body drum technique comprehensively together, I have just a few topics I want to hit left: the one I'm currently on which is shoulders and forearms, then I'll move to press rolls and then lastly traditional grip. I'm worried the traditional grip might take longer than I'm hoping so this one and the below might blend together.

    After that I'm going to spend a few months focusing in on one drummer at a time. I'm thinking Max Roach, Art Blakey, Philly Joe Jones, Roy Haynes to start myself off. I'd also like to dig deep into Brian Blade, Kenny Washington and Ralph Peterson as they were two modern drummers that made me feel something when I first became interested in music. Some other drummers I think are worth investing into are Ed Thigpen and Harold Jones.

    I also want to lose ten lbs and eat cleaner.
