1 Know Goals

Understanding your long-term and short-term goals is crucial for effective prioritization. As a musician, consider what you want to achieve within the next week, month, or year. Is it releasing an album, improving a particular skill, or expanding your fan base? By clearly defining your goals, you can identify which tasks are most important and deserve your immediate attention. This clarity allows you to allocate your time and resources strategically, ensuring that every effort brings you closer to your musical aspirations.

I find writing down my initial wish list helps to get my goals out of my head. I can then look at what is achievable and what the focus should be for that year. I then break this down by quarter to give myself targets to reach that goal. This can then be further broken down into a task list of what needs to be achieved each month. This is a really effective way of reaching your year long goals.

2 Daily Tasks

Breaking down your goals into daily tasks is a game-changer for productivity. Start each day by listing what needs to be done, from the most critical to the least. If you have a gig at night, ensure that your day's schedule includes time for rehearsal and any last-minute preparations. Prioritize tasks that contribute to your long-term objectives, like songwriting or networking, and tackle them when your energy levels are at their peak. This approach helps you stay on top of your responsibilities and makes daunting projects more manageable.

A daily task list is a must to get yourself organised and there's no better satisfaction than ticking things off that list. As a musician, you are likely going to be here, there and everywhere so it's important to list down what you need to do each day. If you are out at rehearsals or concerts on a particular day, don't plan to do lots of admin because you won't be at home. Make sure you also factor in travel time and put that in your calendar so you don't fill those times that you are travelling with things to do, because they won't get done which can lead to feeling deflated. Apps such as Asana allow for flexibility and you can move tasks and deadlines around easily, all from your phone.

3 Delegate Wisely

Delegation is key in managing a busy music career. Identify tasks that can be handled by someone else, such as a manager, band member, or assistant. For instance, while you focus on creating music, a manager could take care of booking shows or promoting your work. Trusting others with certain responsibilities not only frees up your time for creative endeavors but also allows you to focus on areas where you excel. Remember, delegating doesn't mean losing control; it means working smarter.

4 Avoid Clutter

A cluttered schedule leads to a cluttered mind. As a musician, it's tempting to say yes to every opportunity, but this can lead to burnout. Be selective with the projects and events you commit to. If an opportunity doesn't align with your goals or doesn't contribute significantly to your growth as an artist, it's okay to pass. This way, you ensure that your energy is invested in tasks that truly matter and advance your career.

5 Time Blocks

Time blocking is a powerful technique where you dedicate blocks of time to specific tasks or activities. For example, allocate a solid two-hour block for songwriting without interruptions. During this time, silence your phone and focus solely on the task at hand. This method helps you dive deeper into your work, fostering creativity and efficiency. Time blocking can also be applied to administrative tasks, practice sessions, and rest periods, promoting a well-rounded schedule.

There are two really great techniques for time blocking. 1. Block out sections of your calendar to focus on one project, or preparing for one gig, or cluster types of tasks together e.g. 1 hour on doing invoices, or 2 hours of contacting booking agents. 2. Pomodoro technique - if you struggle with focusing for a long time then this technique gets you to focus for short amounts of time. - Set a timer for 25 minutes and focus on one task until the timer goes off. - Take a 5 minute break. - Repeat this rotation 4 times. - Take a longer more restorative break for 20-30 minutes. - Repeat the whole process as you see fit. If you're having a frustrating day practising/rehearsing, the Pomodoro technique could be applied to this too.

6 Reflect Regularly

Regular reflection on your progress is vital. Take time each week to review what you've accomplished and what could be improved. Did you spend enough time on high-priority tasks? Are there areas where you feel stuck? Reflecting allows you to adjust your strategies and priorities accordingly. It's also an opportunity to celebrate your successes, no matter how small, which can be incredibly motivating as you continue to navigate the music industry.
