Episode 93: Taking Time To Manage Your Time

“If you have the discipline to organize your time, to know where it’s going and all that fun stuff, you have the liberty to literally live your life however you want to.”As creatives, we juggle a lot between responsibilities and staying sane. In this episode, Karen walks through some tips on time management and what it means for a musician as we try to find a balance between practice and performance, brand, health, and happiness. Here’s the breakdown:Find out where your time is going: “In the absence of data, your mind makes up stories” (from the amazing Brené Brown)Figure out where you want your time to go: “How do I want to live each day? What are the things I actually want to do?”Form a ritual/routine: “What activities do I want to do to start my day off right? What makes me feel fulfilled and good?”Build in breaks: “When do I need a brain break? What can I do to reenergize?”When we talk about time management, it’s not just about efficiency and productivity in our career. It’s about designing a life that we love and that is sustainable, enjoyable, and makes us a happier and better person. We can do all the things and feel really good about them and feel fulfilled - it starts with managing our lives and making shifts to make better things happen.“The more I take care of myself, the more I take care of my Body, Mind, Spirit - of my physical health, mental health, emotional spiritual health - the better things go in my professional life.” Listener Write in: https://www.musiciansguidepodcast.com/about Patreon- Come Hang out: https://patreon.com/user?u=66581011&utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link The Musician's Guide to Social Media Courses: https://www.musiciansguidepodcast.com/courses Leave us a Review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-musicians-guide-to-being-healthy-wealthy-and-wise/id1440699268 Karen Cubides Agency: https://karencubidesagency.com Karen's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karen.cubides/ Jen's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenniferjames.co/
