Musicians lead busy lives. Between practicing, performing, recording, and whatever else consumes your daily life, it can be hard to balance time between music and the rest of the world.
Here’s how to manage your time as a musician.
1. Schedule everything.
There is nothing quite as stressful as flying by the seat of your pants when you’re working on a major project. To keep yourself on task, create a schedule. Set up definite times to practice and write, even if you’re just doing those things at home alone.
