What's in Your Planner?

So do you really want to move forward and start pursuing your dreams? If you do it's not just about what's in your heart or your songbooks. It's also about what's in your planner?

If you really want to turn something into a career, taht means you've got to work harder than you are now and that most of your current free time is now work time. And all of that means that your planner should be full of activities that are going to help you move forward.

On days that you are working at your job, your list of career related activities will be short. For example, let's say your schedule for the day allows you three hours for you to do what you want with. Devote an hour to revisions. Devote another hour searching online for opportunities to perform or network. Devote another hour to practicing what you've got. Even if you don't have the whole day, use the time that is yours wisely. Make the most of it.

On days that you have to yourself you can obviously accomplish much more. Don't just list activities that you want to do. Create an hour by hour to do list and stick to it. Life can get in the way and vague lists will get you nowhere, but if you schedule your time throughout the day to be used for certain things it will be easier for you to accomplish those things within your time frame.

Get out your planner or whatever you like to use and take a look at it. If it's not as full as it should be, fill it.
