Week 6. Same system. Monday commitments, Friday check-in. How'd Week 5 go? Drop your wins (or your excuses) if you haven't already. NOTE: This is Thanksgiving and Black Friday week. Life will likely get in the way for most. Remember from video 4 - "Stop Using Setbacks As Excuses To Quit". This week might be that minimum. If you plan for it, you can still make progress, even if small. This week (Nov 23-29), my NON-NEGOTIABLE: Primary goal: All But Denied single "Settle Down" released Tuesday to Bandcamp and Distrokid, TBA for Spotify, etc. This is THE priority. Everything else supports or follows this. Supporting work: - Finish production for three artists - Finish and upload client instrumental playthrough to YouTube + cut clips for short form promotion - Finish video playthrough for another client - drums recorded, need guitar and bass parts filmed. - Upload Video 5 into Classroom: "Stop Waiting For Motivation: Your Habits Prove Who You Are" with worksheet Bonus list (if I'm on a roll): - Set up screen capture to discuss importing Christmas album files into current template - showcase template evolution - Record Video 6 for Classroom - Prepare contact list for D4D outreach (starting next week) Why I structure it this way: ADHD brain. When hyperfocus hits, I need options ready or decision fatigue kills momentum. But I hold myself to the top priority. Make it specific. Make it small. Make it DONE by Friday.

Week 4. Same system. Monday commitments, Friday check-in. How'd Week 3 go? Drop your wins (or your excuses) if you haven't already. This week (Nov 9-15), my TOP 3 non-negotiables: 1. Launch D4D publicly - social posts live, community set to public 2. Post Video 1 to YouTube - lead magnet 3. Finish "Settle Down" mix/master - next All But Denied release ships Bonus list (if I'm on a roll): - Add community links to personal/business profiles - Finalize Chasing Wind mix (awaiting client feedback on revision 3) - Add Video 1 to studio website Why I structure it this way: ADHD brain. When hyperfocus hits, I need options ready or decision fatigue kills momentum. But I hold myself to the top 3. Make it specific. Make it small. Make it DONE by Friday. Drop your commitment below 👇

Week 3. Same system. Monday commitments, Friday check-in. How'd Week 2 go? Drop your wins (or your excuses) in the comments if you haven't already. This week (Nov 2nd - Nov 8th), I'm committing to: → Finishing Chasing Wind mix (just received second revision today, first round done) → Film Video 5: Nobody Is Coming To Save You (scripted, prepped, needs filmed) → Finishing Settle Down for the next All But Denied release (still on this week - didn't realize I had not aligned the recorded vocals. Also doing a test exporting tracks to newest template to see if I like it better then original. After proofing both, dialing in final based on preference.) → Launching Discipline For Dreamers publicly (did soft launch with small group, marketing begins this week) Note: I will cover this in an upcoming video module. I prepare the week different than most. Many do the 3 Most Important Tasks daily. Others have a lengthy list (like above). I tend to know what my top ones are but also have what's next at bat so I can jump right in when focused and on a roll. If you struggle getting as much as you want done, small steps are perfectly fine! Some days I knock out all the tasks, some days one might be a stretch. Be kind to yourself, but also be honest and accountable! Your turn. ONE thing you're finishing this week. Make it specific. Make it small. Make it DONE by Friday.

One thing we all focus on is I gotta get the streams!!!! Not true. This will come when you build a connection with your listeners. We are not famous. We cant just expect 400k views right away. Our music is a business we have to build it like a business. One thing i struggle with is having an online presence day to day on all socials. Yes we do need to post videos regularly. But we cant just post our music. No one is invested in our music. So how do we over come this ? Something i will learn. I will start posting about my story. What my music means. Why i wrote it. How i built the song ect. Will that work? Hell if I know , but it'll be a start to switch strategies.
