I have time, but..

From the title, you are possibly expecting this to be a moan..?

But no, nothing negative here. In fact, quite the opposite. I have realised that I have so much time, but I don't always get much done in this time. Time management! Definitely has never been my strong suit.

I have recently been reading/listening to much content on getting motivated and staying focused. I have many projects (Big and small) that I would like to finish this year. Some of which I have wanted to complete (or start) for many years. This is bad.. I know. So I need to change. But what?

So I have a lot of time where I can't do certain things because I don't have the right environment or conditions for it to occur, for example; Recording (mainly vocals), Shooting live videos and writing songs. This is usually due to doing these activities at home and always having a full house. Lot's of noise and distractions. It's not a bad thing of course, it's nice and what we strive for. To have the ones we care about around us.

But.. there are many occasions when the house is free, I have the opportunity.. But it's almost as if it has jumped out of nowhere and its taken me by surprise. Caught me off guard. I feel completely unprepared and so I panic.. I start to try and pull a plan together of what I could do in that time. I start something, then I think of another.. then another.. and so.. I don't get anything done.

This is indecisiveness and not organising my time. I know I have plenty of opportunities, but I must think about the things I want to achieve before these opportunities come along. I must have clarity in what it is that is of the highest priority. I must be sure. I must decide.

I have an album that I started recording last year, I had plans and I had been quite organised. then there was a break. A period of time, quite a long period of time where I couldn't work on it. And so, all my drive thinned out and I lost my focus. I still have the draft recordings and when I listen to them I feel the excitement that I felt when I was recording them. As time passes you then have a build up of newer songs you want to record or work on, and so it then becomes far too much to take on.

I will revisit the songs from the 'album' and take them on a song at a time.

I plan to release a song a month and I have started to post some music to my SoundCloud page too. All under my Alias 'Melting Composure'.

​Of course it would be amazing if you could check it out! Also let me know what your thoughts are on time management and getting things done! I would love your advice!
