Its easy to say the word "Time
management" but in reality its very difficult to hold onto this term.
There’s a lot of time in a day and a reason to accept the truth that every
second counts indeed. Then what is the importance of time management for music
production? Its a big deal. Make your own timetable or schedule and try your
best to stick with it. You have to be obedient towards your mind if you really
want to produce music. Don't try to come up with excuses for yourself. If you
are able to arrange only an hour for yourself that also not bad. Write down at
the end of each day, what you have done today, and what should be the next?
This is also a good way to check how effectively you are managing your time for
your music production apart from side disturbances.
For some people music may be just a hobby for
some it may be a career or for some lucky ones may be both hubby and career.
Some people swear to live by music. They claim they don't want anything else in
their life. Only music is everything for them and they give their all time to
it. But the fact is not everyone has the freedom of spending more than little
hours per day for producing music. Having these obligations one would like to
tend towards day jobs. If you are in the beginning of your music career you
have to be active in a day job to meet your essential needs. The effectiveness
of managing the schedule of day job and your music production session is not
quite easy for some people. Have a look at the following points....might be
useful.
Be on Music: Not
necessarily in real life scenes, but during music making sessions. If you have
more members in your family makes sure they have been informed about your music
production and you don't want to be frustrated. If you are in a collaboration
with a friend of a music buddy make sure your topic of discussion should not be
diverted to any other field except music. Share creative ideas while making
music and sometimes you both can put criticisms in while working on a track.
Its for sure you will learn a lot by working with your fellow artists.
Concentration is Key: The
rise of social media may be the biggest cause for low level of concentration.
Facebook, twitter, Instagram, snapchat are websites which can help you socially
to your career so that you could kick start your music career, but will create
disturbances for you when it comes to money making. If you really want to
produce more music, then just get away from these sites. Specially if you are
having your own laptop make sure you are using it only for your music making. Apart
from social media websites some also receive irrelevant emails and messages.
Keep your mobile on silent mode. Only respond to your critical calls specially
from loved/dear ones, when there is a need of your response.
Always feel energetic:
Never ever feel bored. If you feel boredom is approaching you then get engaged
with music Making. If you get engaged with something you love, you will never
feel bored of yourself. Learn every day, while practicing. Being able to be
constantly supportive to self learning is a big quality of an artist. Always
feel inspired and never stop learning. Have free time, then be more with music.
Use your free time to learn things.
One job at one time: Working
on many projects at one time leads to a whole of incomplete songs. I know that
excitement that comes when you are working on one song and suddenly a new idea
comes to your mind and that idea is completely different from the one you are
working but you still feel that urge to work on that new idea of creativity.
The best way to control that excitement is to write down that idea on a
notebook. You should never let that idea go away. The creativity is not a bad
thing and make sure that idea applies somewhere in your next project. The key
is to finish what you have started first, if you in middle start thinking about
that creativity idea then you will be in nowhere. Neither you can complete the
first nor can think about the next. Working on one stuff at one time means
creating more meaningful music at an averagely good time.
Be thankful for own effort: Always
thank yourself after you finish a project within the time you allowed for
yourself for a particular task. Do whatever you feel good to raise your
confidence. The key here is to increase the happiness for your effort towards
the task. Keep in mind time is relevant. It can fly or crawl. It all depends on
you how you spend it. Treat music making more than just a hobby. But do have
fun with this practice while making it. Its for sure when you love what you are
doing, you can always find time for it. If you don't love then excuses are
already settled in your brain to come up with.
Stick to your love: Always
be tested with assumptions by yourself, why?.....Music is your life, your music
expresses things for you that words cannot. Music is a pull towards your inner self.
Sometimes you may feel frustrated because of your official job. The reason may
be due to high workload, or things are not working in your favour. Your boss
may be unhappy with your effort. And at the end of the day, when you enter to
the music studio for production you feel meaningless. Even if you attempt to
create it all goes down to the failure and you think of yourself out of
frustration why this thing(what you are working on) is not happening. But you
are unable to analyze it because your brain is already frustrated by your day
activities and you are putting on those frustrations on your music production.
The frustrations are going nowhere, its just doubling it's impact on you,
making you more weaker mentally. And the negative things like i shouldn't
choose music for my life, its too heavy for me, i am not compatible with it,
its better for me to give up on it, approach your mind. It only takes your
passion and determination to call upon your success. First try to deal with
that frustration. Thing like this, you have to do that task(which is troublesome
according to you) for your music. I hope you will find a way to deal with that
problem.
