If you’re anything like me you have trouble focusing on one project at a time. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you can keep tabs on different projects and make sure you finish them. Some people are naturally predisposed to completing one task or project at a time and others (like me) tend to come up with lots of ideas, start acting on them and end up with lots of half finished projects.
This is especially true with music. I have a tenedency to come up with new ideas far more than develop and polish off the half finished ones. This results in lots of bits of tracks all over my hard drive and very few completed ones.
If you can relate to this then what do you do about it? How do you discipline yourself to put some time into existing projects and revisiting all those snippets and ideas?
One way to do this is to assign a time once a week or month to dedicate at least an hour to going through any such snippets and seeing if they can either be:
1. Incorporated into another track or song
2. Warrant a new project all of their own.
You never know you might get 3 or 4 whole tracks out of the 10-15 snippets you’ve made over the last week or month.
That’s Saturday morning booked up from now on! This applies to aall projects as well not just music ones by the way
