If You Miss This, NOTHING Gets Done

[@Catalog1980onwardsTheRevival]

I just started this 2 days back, setting start & finish time to practice guitar & to learn recording & mixing

"The trouble is, you think you have time" - Buddha. Time management is one of the main reasons why people fail in their chosen careers. And if you are self-employed, it is even more difficult: since you are not a "nine-to-fiver", you are always under the illusion that you can pull another all-nighter to get back on track. Like you said: "you only have so many hours in a day/week" Use them wisely. Great videos, Joe.

[@hersheybell8444]

To add to Joe's comments: I have a pretty busy job and being at the top of the food chain, I get emails FROM EVERYONE In my organization. And many have attachments I need to read. What I do is that unless it is TIME URGENT (which is RARE RARE RARE), I never read them at that moment; rather, I estimate the time I need and I have my assistant schedule it somewhere on my calendar (e.g. I may say, "I need 30 minutes within the next 2 weeks) and then I FORGET ABOUT IT until it shows up on my calendar and then, AND ONLY THEN, do I deal with it. But here's the key: That's what I do at that moment. The principle behind this is the management of commitments and that's what Joe is really talking about in this video! So with music, what Joe is suggesting is SPOT ON! Sorting out our commitments is central to managing our lives. This is essence of Stephen Covey's "Quadrant 2" living - more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGWYapaNbahmn5I

I love your outlook and I understand the difference between making music for enjoyment and having to make it for your next Big Mac...or that Whopper that ain't near as big as the picture..aw you know...what I mean....a JOB!!! I know you've been there...I see it in your eyes...paid the dues and still love the music...that's for real. Being around "Music People" forces you to develop an instinct for sorting out whats real from the other 98% and by golly you are a rare bird....So I'm going to start accepting the idea that at some point the damn song is done and put it in the can........Thanks Joe

[@BenChambless]

I remember when I worked at Sweetwater, they once played that radio jingle/song. I think I remember the song going something like "pushing the barriers of sound. Sweetwater Sound!"

[@powerofproductionstudio3030]

It's really simple, prioritize! Nobody has time, you have to make time for the things that matter! Priority, if music matters to you, you will make the time to embrace it. Don't let your Life get so full of things that you have no time for the things that matter to you. Unclutter your Life.

[@niceguy5794]

It's OK Joe, we know musicians never grow up. And we like it that way!

[@project1265ffo]

fantastic video Joe

[@HomeStudioCorner]

thanks!

[@famitory]

goal-less sessions can be very useful if you don't have any inspiration for works in progress, because you can make lots of small loops and samples and patches that you can put aside and then later use when you need them. then when you're in a goal oriented session and you need a cool percussion loop, you can grab something from your pile

[@famitory]

also if you end up with more stuff than you can ever use, sell it as a sample pack!

[@matthewfauvellmusic4016]

Love Pam :) Her support helps bring you to us... Love Pam :)

[@Ege-h6u]

Thank you man I will try!

[@ChakFournier]

I agree with most of what you said, but sometimes, having a goal gives me unwanted pressure and I end up throwing everything away..

[@truep3652]

I promise you I needed to see this video today. Thank you for posting this.

[@ColRedfearn]

I thought your post was a bit hmmmm until (5.00). I have zero time to do what I want to do: make music. I promised myself I would finish 1 song this year, it's now September! As ever, you speak to me. Thanks. 3 months to finish my song!

[@PhillipMelvan]

This is exactly what I needed to hear today, thanks :)

[@romanokoenmusic]

I'm bad at sticking to a schedule. Thanks for this advice! I'm also bad at finishing my projects.

[@jonnylennox2504]

I know the feeling😟. Need to get the momentum going again!!! Thanks joe!!!

[@soundslike1]

Great stuff man, this was needed!!!

[@_thaaatguy]

*Digital slap*

[@Nova6Studio]

I have a studio in my garage. It might as well be 100 miles away. I never get out there to do anything. ugh!

[@joerusso8292]

Time Management is my biggest downfall. Great therapy session. Helped me stay on track to "stay on track"

[@MartinLang1625]

Great advice! How about when you have a few different projects and you have a hard time deciding which one to work on?

[@DJNebaJS]

BALLS!!!

[@lylewyant3356]

I'm kinda there. Managed to do a sound check. Goal? Record layers of a rough draft

[@danzactivaballaja6083]

So (2:28 ) "Setting clear endtimes to meetings or tasks" is the subject of this video. That's two clickbait videos in a row. Hmmm.. Thanks anyway for sharing your tips. I appreciate them.

[@alexmuli]

Hahaha you know why am laughing

[@another_alex8738]

You know you got to that point were it sounded like that to me: "My wife is great, yeah she is really great, sooo great. Really great great great. She is just.... great... haha help me.." :D no but I'm sure everything is fine ...if not.. blink twice

[@BACbeatzlive]

lol

[@warlanefam]

'businessly.. 🤔' 😆

[@Pjaysusity]

Take away: 1 Open ended anything doesn't work. 2 People 'have'. 3 Fun could easily become burdensome 4 Shaking your head saying "shut up Joe" after he 'said' it, makes no sense. 5 Set a defined start and end time: for each step. 6 Progressing is motivational 7 Some habits need a habit-replacement 🇹🇹👍🏼💯

[@HomeStudioCorner]

😊 👍

[@MattLeFaitMusic]

Balls 😂😂

[@SanatanDharm]

Hey please tell me the name of those studio monitors right behind you in this video.plz

[@sewnixltdofficial7687]

Come on joe! Straight to the point ! we don't want random stories!

[@sam0kc]

Honestly, I woulnd't mind a "short version" of this video either :p

[@haukenebel]

I actually enjoy them!

[@theNickRYG]

points aren't points without context for why they're important!

[@velvetdog2211]

Yeah.... You're running with the wolves now, Baby!

[@MichaelNatrin]

Helpful stuff. You need measurement to make progress. As Seth Godin says, ship the work. Lol balls. I like that you have a t-shirt for a pencil company.

[@mizaron1]

What kind of speakers are those behind you and what do they cost

[@Endless_Skyway_Adventures]

I didn't hear anything for 30 seconds after you said, "I'm not mature enough for this ". Not the first time, or the second. Apparently I'm not either...

[@TheJerry2912]

funny how many times you said your wife is great in the beginning :D

[@beachforestmountain4269]

The word "great" means "big" or "powerful". It doesn't necessarily mean "good", hahahaha. Shes a 'powerful' wife.

[@vincentdurmort-bornloudstu9508]

It might be "just" talking as you said, that's a good analysis... and a good reminder. Now run, you're late :D

[@briankingart]

Make creative time mandatory and OFFICIAL, for your own sanity and for a higher quality of life (that's probably mainly full of pap).

[@mprado3356]

Balls lol ur funny

[@justinwaynesmith3477]

Pam will u ask your husband if he will take this project because it's a little different situation but I think u need to hear butyou know what I'm going to be honest I'm having trouble just letting it go that's why I think you can help me man
