Just what I needed to hear this morning Stevie! Thank you for sharing.

[@jimrogers7425]

I agree with you in saying that you only get about 4 hours of creative output in a day. For me, I get no more than 5 hours of creative output per day and that feels like the limit to keep me from burning out during any given week. This is a very helpful video! Failure is something that breeds success... failure is nothing more than not hitting the mark in any given pursuit. When we take the time to LEARN from our failures, we gain so much more. Fearing failure is worthless... just accept it knowing that a big part of life is nothing more than a string of successes and failures in various orders. Failures only define you if you ALLOW them to... a lesson from 67 years of living and my own string of successes and failures in life! Be well, my friend!! Great video!

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom! 🙏

[@darkcharmrecords]

Thank you for this🙏

[@amaxlevin]

Your reflection on self doubt and resistance truly resonates. Thank you as well for the amazing productivity and workflow gems💎

[@Eighty8Music]

Such a well-crafted , articulate and practical video. So helpful Steve! And as you were starting the video, I was thinking about the war of art that I loved so much and it's so cool you referenced it

[@Steven_Beddall]

Greg thanks so much man! Yeah it’s a wonderful book, it really helped me!

[@mastersound1569]

Thanks Steven for this video and your works, so precious tips, I see myself in many of your words 👏Keep going your awesome work!

[@gregwixted]

When you mentioned resistance early in the video, I went directly to The War of Art. There's a reason why that book is legendary. Great resource and recommendation. Excellent video(s) btw. Thanks for the insight and sharing your expertise.

[@SonnyGreenwichJr]

Yes indeed, Dr Stevie! by far the hardest part for me is sitting down to start. I can also spend months listening to a track that's almost finished, procrastinating. 🤣 Thanks! I've smashed all the smashers! Salutations from an ex-pat Canadian living in astonishingly chilly Ireland! ☘☮🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮☘

[@netuno_music]

I will be buying your courses as soon as possible. I really like your way of working and teaching. 👏

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thanks for watching!

[@phil-wallace-braveheartz]

Great to hear that I'm normal. As we spend most of our time working in isolation one of the greatest challenges is ending up going round in circles and making sub-conscious excuses to avoid doing anything. Which is king of ironic as it's the creative part that I absolutely love. You've reminded me of some great strategies that inside my head I know, the challenge is remembering that you know them, if you get what I mean. I think I need to watch this video at the start of every day! Part of my new plan 🙂

[@thewindupsweetheart]

Just discovering your channel now. These were great rules and tips, very practical but I'm glad you also were open about your own resistance and self doubt. What really resonated with me was when you mentioned most of your work won't move the needle for you. I think that's one of the things I have been trying to avoid, which has really made my output not to the level it needs to be. So, thank you!

[@ilyakuznetsovmusic]

Great video Steven! Thank you!

[@mysterybro100]

Yup! Well said my fellow Canadian!!!! Thank you for this great insight!

[@irnbeats7549]

That's really high quality information & content. Thanks for the Motivaton to be Productive🙏🏼

[@bjornark]

This was very helpful. Awesome advice! Especially the first one ... I have to work on that for sure. Take care. :)

[@WavebeatsMusic]

What a great and honest video my friend! I must say, after 4 years of intense hard working producing tracks and building my brand online, I have been feeling burned out for the past months and got a bit down after diving too deep into the exciting and at the same time terrifying world of AI and how it can directly affect us composers. I am always watching your videos but this one in particular was exactly what I needed to be reminded of. Like you, I also have my golden rules, and they are plentfull, but lately, the resistency to start a new track somehow took over me. Anyway...talking too much...just really want to say thank you for all your wonderful videos and all you share on your channel! I always feel happy and calm after watching you! All the very best! Talk later! Henrique (aka WavebeatsMusic)

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment Henrique I really appreciate that, and thanks for watching 🙏

[@jesseeastman1206]

Don’t know how I’m just now seeing this, but this video is so good. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thanks Jesse!

[@aaronhiltz]

This was extremely helpful and validating. Thank you 🙏🏽

Love love love War of Art. Excellent advice in this video!

[@altermoremusic]

Дякую, це цікаво. Я теж постійно борюся з прокрастинацією. Мені дуже нелегко дається завершити треки, довести роботу до кінця і бути задоволеним тим що я зробив. Крім того, певні проблеми зі здоров'ям заважають мені бути продуктивним кожного дня. А ще я зрозумів що дуже важливо мати свій ізольований простір для роботи. Я не маю можливості ізолюватись, тому це часом дуже заважає продуктивності, особливо коли тобі треба щось записати або зняти нове відео 🙆🏻‍♂️ Але треба рухатись далі.

[@Steven_Beddall]

Так, ви праві. Мати власний робочий простір - це благословіння, і я дуже вдячний за це. Раніше я працював в переповненому і шумному просторі, і постійні перерви ускладнювали ситуацію, але нам доводиться робити все можливе з тим, що у нас є. Дякую за перегляд і бажаю вам найкращого.

[@altermoremusic]

@@Steven_Beddall і вам бажаю творчого успіху 🤗

[@brainrussell6811]

Great advice that transcends all forms of creativity.

[@LRCDetroit]

A great list. Very useful, thank you!

[@evgenylukiyanov]

Thank you for this video

[@MaPa60]

Great video, Stevie. Tnx!

[@MikeDawson01]

Hey Steve great video :) Yeah it's a big learning process and I still feel like I should be much further along...... Thanks for sharing :)

[@jmiq]

Good stuff Steven. I'm very ADHD, and 2 related time soaks for me are plugin hunting and then sound hunting for just the right one in the dozens of instruments I then have available. I think I'm saturated enough with instruments/effects that I'm doing that less, but the sound hunting is still bad. Although ironically I found you on your recent video promoting some free plugins. 😂 Any suggestions?

[@thomaskaasi4225]

Good stuff, Stevie 🙂

[@LongshanMusic]

This was so helpful, thank you.

[@masonthomassax]

This video is gold!

[@maryshaw4399]

Love this so much!! Thank you Stevie for the excellent advice, especially about task batching tracks. PS - nice Notion list!

[@Steven_Beddall]

I’m obsessed with Notion now, and so is my wife 😂 Definitely have you to thank for that!

[@chad_kaya]

Man, such a great video!!

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thanks man!

[@roman9711]

Hi Stevie! Can you help me please? I have my music on Motion Array and I would like to register this music in distribution services like DistroKid or TuneCore, does it mean that all who already downloaded my music from Motion Array will receive claims? Thank you!

[@Steven_Beddall]

They’ll only receive claims if you register the music with content ID

[@roman9711]

Thank you so much!

[@WillyJunior]

Is Artlist still actively taking on new composers? Do they pay upfront for tracks?

[@Steven_Beddall]

As far as I know, they've always kept the doors open for new talent!

[@WillyJunior]

​@@Steven_BeddallThanks for the reply. Great video by the way. I'm glad it's not just me that feels the resistance when starting tracks!

[@eugene_shtakal]

[@laszlomagyar_music]

I am not here to start a flame war (however, it will inevitably happen), but I would like to get a little perspective on the productivity ethos. Of course, the video is not exactly about that and I find it really useful and there is a lot of food for thought in it overall. But, at the end of the day, the thing is that with the help of these notions, seven tracks and three remixes were done in a month. How does this compare to Michael Jackson, who made his producers mix 80+ versions of a song (Billie Jean) and eventually chose the second, or on a different occasion made his producer work on a track for like 18 months (check out the Sound on Sound article, August, 2004) and generally produced a 9-10 track album in five years (give or take...) And he did it with the help of the greatest producers/musicians available, on a technically unlimited budget and in the best studios. Obviously, a music history grade artist and production music are very different things, but for the general guy (me) the question can be put like this: How is it possible to strike the balance between the aspiration for perfection and producing complete albums in mere days? What do you think?

[@Grigga]

Choose quality over quantity...

[@PegLegPokerClub]

Your video facial smoothing filter is doing a number on the microphone probably due to the cruddy pop filter. If you clean it with a sticky roller, it should fix the issue. Rock on!

[@KevKlopper]

It's the blur filter that's gets confused wether the mic is part of his body or not.
