Build momentum

I’ve been trying to focus on using small steps to build momentum. I have been very bad at using incremental changes and improvements to make large improvements. Making small goals isn’t something I’m good at.

So I’m changing that.

I’m using small goals to reach larger goals.

Every single day I’ve been using SubmitHub to send my music to curators multiple times a day.

When I have a chance to write music I try to put on a timer and get whatever I can get done in about 25 minutes. If that’s 8 measures, then I just finished 8 measures. If I finish 8 measures everyday for a week I’ll have 56 measures done. If I only write 4 measures, then I still have 4 measures written.

Even if I write for 10 minutes and write 1 measure of music that keeps the momentum going. Writing music the next day will be easier because I wrote music the day before.

Once you build momentum it’s easier to keep going.
