Sounds simple, right?
It is!
And it’s one of the key ingredients in turning your hobby into a business. (You know, besides talent, caffeine, and the occasional existential crisis.)
Being efficient and setting time limits is crucial for productivity.
If you have an open eight-hour window, odds are you’ll get way more done in a focused three-hour session than by spending the entire day "working"—which usually includes scrolling, snacking, and staring at your projects like they owe you money.
Give it a shot!
Even if it’s something as small as learning a new VST, set a timer. When it goes off, either move on to another task (with a clear time frame) or take a break without guilt.
Finished early?
Amazing!
Ran a little over?
No big deal.
The real magic is in setting the intention.
Now, go forth and be productive! (Or at least pretend convincingly.)
With love,
