Hi producers,
Recently I listened to this podcast "Wespin" which gives business and marketing advies to electronic music producers. In this episode, Resound talks about 6 reasons artist procrastinate (and how to overcome them)
Anyway here it is if you want to listen:
So I made this while I listened to it, I thought it might be helpful for some of you:
1. Decide to avoid Big Tasks
Solutions:
-Break down to series of small tasks
-don't think about finishing something, just think about starting it (biggest motivator: the action itself, do it.)
-WHY? Goals.
- (don't be afraid to) ask people to help you out (delegate tasks)
2. Fear of change, failure or rejection
Solutions:
-Take risks, face it
3. Facing complexity
Solutions:
- Simplify (20/80 rule)
- Education (video, lessons, reading, but don't get stuck, "In time learning", put in action)
4. Lack of motivation or focus
Solutions:
- Think about negative consequencies of not completing the task you're doing right now (people dissapointed, etc.)
5. Compulsive (internet) habits
Solutions:
- Don't multitask, focus on your work
- Silence phone, don't get distracted by social media
6. Physical fatigue
Solutions:
- Have a healthy life, eating properly, sleeping more.
Do you have more tips or maybe some experiences you want to share?
