159. Habits of a Successful Musician: Do Just 3 Things Each Day

Make progress in your music career by doing just 3 things each day that focus on music. Doing this can combat burnout and eliminate overwhelm associated with lengthy to-do lists. The habits of a successful musician include doing just 3 things each day. That’s the way I made significant progress in my music career. Including tasks that are related to my 90 day goals, I’m sure to make progress toward reaching those goals each day. Planning my days helps me feel less guilty when I am unable to get something done and kick burnout and overwhelm to the curb. The best part is that the tasks usually take about 2 to 3 hours each day so there is plenty of time for self development and family.   Habits of A Successful Musician: Choosing Goals and Tasks That Create Momentum My Goals for Quarter 2: Sunday: 1.5 hours Monday: 1.5 hours Tuesday: 3 hours Wednesday: 2 hours Thursday: 3-4 hours Habits of a Successful Musician Beyond the 3 Things: Self Development Building self development into each day through exercise, reading, classes, listen to podcasts, meditation, self care or whatever “self-development” is to you.
