A Day in the Life: How a Musician CEO Balances Creativity, Business, and Wellbeing

As musicians, we often struggle to find balance between our artistic pursuits, business responsibilities, and personal wellbeing. In this behind-the-scenes look, I'll share how I structure my days as a musician, entrepreneur, CEO, mother, and wife to create a life of meaning, inspiration, and productivity.

The Power of Morning Routines

The way we start our mornings can make or break our entire day. My ideal morning begins before the rest of my family wakes, giving me precious quiet time for self-connection. I head outdoors to get natural sunlight, which helps regulate my body's rhythms. When possible, I enjoy a sauna session followed by a cold shower - though I haven't quite worked up to cold plunging like many entrepreneurs! This quiet time allows for yoga, breathwork, meditation, and journaling. By setting intentions before the day truly begins, I feel accomplished and centered before tackling any business tasks.

Strategic Time Blocking

Rather than constantly switching between tasks, I plan my weeks and months in advance through strategic time blocking. This means designating specific chunks of time for core priority activities while building in buffer time for unexpected situations. During focused work periods, I minimize distractions by putting my phone on airplane mode and setting clear boundaries with my team. The key is alternating between creative and administrative modes throughout the day, rather than trying to do everything at once.

I organize my week around themed days - some dedicated to direct client service, others focused on content creation and attraction activities, and still others reserved for operations and systems development. This structured approach prevents the constant context-switching that can drain our energy and creativity.

Preserving Creative Space

As musicians building businesses, we must fiercely protect time for our artistic expression. Whether it's practicing piano, writing, or creating content, these deep creative sessions keep us connected to our purpose beyond the administrative tasks. I make sure to schedule regular blocks for pure creative work, treating them as non-negotiable appointments with myself.

Finding Your Natural Rhythm

Think of structuring your day like composing music - it should have a natural flow and rhythm. By tuning into nature's cycles and honoring both our creative spirits and business needs through intentional planning, we can create sustainable success on our own terms. While no routine is perfect and this remains a constant work in progress, consistency in these practices helps avoid burnout while managing the multiple demands of a musician's entrepreneurial life.

The specific routines that work for you may look different, but the principle remains: intentional structure creates freedom. When we thoughtfully design our days to support both our artistic and business pursuits, we can build thriving careers without sacrificing our wellbeing or creative fulfillment.
