Activity

Oh gosh, so…..I’m actually terrible at this. I am primarily a songwriter. That means I should write songs. But I have been horrible about setting aside time to write. It’s my senior year and I’m spending a lot of time on school, but I’m also dividing the rest of my time amongst piano practice, cello practice, and swim practice. And I’m using whatever time is left to earn money to support the aforementioned extracurricular activities. *cough cough* #excuses *cough cough* So I need as much help as I can get. I usually have just written when I get a chance, sometimes 10 or 15 minutes randomly throughout the day, but I have not been consistent. That’s probably why I have only written one song in the past year. *cries in a corner in shame* All that being said, I think just setting a timer for 30 minutes each day is a great way to do it, and when I have etched that into my schedule in the past, it has worked wonderfully. You just have to buckle down and do it. I just turn off my phone and laptop and get away from as many distractions as possible and then I set a timer and do nothing but write for 30 minutes. I usually feel a lot better after I do that. *puts it on the schedule*
