A phone call from Rakitha aiya woke me up this morning. The first gig with Naadro happened on 4th morning. And the second gig is gonna happen tomorrow. The client want us to perform in their home coming too. So I was asked to set up 3 ableton projects (Simply I have to perform 3 items) by tomorrow eve.
And with the workload I have its a tough task for me. But luckily I've faced these kind of situations before. That means there is a method I've figured out earlier in my previous year journal. Im gonna share it with you.
There 6 steps
There 6 steps
1. Set micro goals.
Take the project and divide it into smaller parts. Create a quality checklist for each goal so you don't miss a beat.
2. Eliminate distractions.
Isolate yourself from nonessential people and electronics. Crank up the music and power through in long focused time periods. Set them at 90 minutes and don't take a break in between. (My normal work sessions are just 25 mins. But this is a bit next level working session. Simply a challenge.)
3. Keep moving past the flaws.
Slowing down every time you hit a small snag can add a lot of extra time to the project. Better to come back and clean up small messes at the end. That way you can keep the rhythm going. Of course, if a big crucial problem hits, solve it now so it doesn't send you way off course.
4. Get rid of your judgment.
Second guessing yourself at every step can cause anxiety and delays. Self-judgment is crippling when trying to problem solve. Express all your ideas and solutions judgment free.
5. Keep your eye on the prize.
When my brain has already left for the weekend it's hard to keep focus. That's when I take a few minutes to visualize what it means to be finished with the project. Then I go push hard to power through and get it done.
Let me know if this helped you! 💓
