Accountability always helps! I am going to be tracking my success in Two things 1. Mixing 2. Researching Rule is I have to A) Dedicate 5 hours+ Daily To Mixing B) Deadicate 3+ to research Everyday I will check in. Simple and Sweet.
1. Mixing: Fail 2. Research: Fail Off to rough start. Tomorow guarneteed to start getting all W's till the end. These will Be the only Fs on the board. Guranteed.
Day 2 1. Mixing: Win 2. Research: Win Thats more like it. But it was not pretty. I will follow a focus protocol tmrw to get that part up.
Day 4 1. Mixing : fail 2. Research: fail Not to make excuses but this was completely out of my hands. Day 5 1. Mixing : fail 2. Research: fail Completelty my fault. And from now on I will say again. I GURANTEE no more fails and I can ensure this by a) doing them earlier so there is less risk I get occupied by more pressing things b) just don't go to sleep until it's done
Day 6 1.Mixing: Fail 2.Research: Win My problem with the mixing is that I kind of lack material so it gets a bit frustrating. I have decided to do full songs then mix them as the whole routine and my start another blog to go along with this one on FP. Full songs starting tmrw.
Good luck with the 30 day challenge. I was a little confused as to what your two goals were at first though, until day 6 I though maybe it was mixing with people and researching them! Will you be posting links to some of the results of your challenge as things progress?
Hey Jones thanks for the support, and yes I was very crude and ambiguous about the details. And no I won't be posting any results. Day 7 Double Win !!! Got a song down today so tomorrow I can record it just to Mix it and research went fairly well.
Day 8 Fail Fail Well. I came close with the Mixing but i completely messed up my research time. And Tommorow I will be pressed for time so it will definetly be difficult to redeem myself but I will go HARD at it.
Day 9 Mixing: Win Research: Fail Procrastination got the best of me and I ran out of time. I really need to take this more seriously. If i am going to gurantee W's I HAVE to start earlier and thats exactly what Im going to do.
Day 10 Mixing: Epic Fail Research: Win Today was such a strange day. It's funny how when you get comfortable you waste so much time and mess up so much. I just want to get life right.. I just want to win.
Dude i honestly love what you're doing I personally have a friend who mixes and is pretty passionate about it. But listen, don't try to go so hard in the paint at first, I mean you're talking about 5 HOURS of mixing and 3 of RESEARCH. Cut the times down way smaller so you make it impossible for yourself not to do each activity. And slowly progress over 30 days. Nice and steady, or else you'll burn yourself out. I'm actually pretty interested in what it is you're trying to accomplish with you're mixing and research, "Rico Suave". That's a pretty badass name not gonna lie, BUT ANYWAY, message me cause you got me curious on this
Day 14 Mixing; Win Research: WIN Hey Will, Thanks for the advice. Let me first say I'm impressed that you are only 16 and already posting on a success forum. Let me explain quickly first of all With The Mixing I'm just trying to improve my skills at it by deadicating time The "Research" is actually just a generic term I use to do personal development. Things like setting my goals, watching self help videos and formulating plans to help me reach success in the next year. As for your advice I truely hear you, but honestly Im on vacation right now, I truely have enough time in a day to accomplish these tasks and they will have to go out the window once College starts again. This is the only time i can truly focus on them you see?
Day 17 Mixing; F Research: W Day 18 Mixing; F Research: F Rough.. Notice:I am ending my challenge early since I'm about to be back at school. It's not possible to complete. I definitely got a lot of value from it though.
