Sure, movie night is fun and relaxing, but there are seven days in every week. It's time to spend one of them doing something that doesn't involve a remote control and popcorn. Find a sports team, learn to play an instrument, or embrace the great outdoors. Commit to get up, get out, and get going!
"Too busy with LSE assignments, Zoom classes, and full time work to focus on poetry today (Monday, 6/21). Will try to set aside some time tomorrow night. "
"Wieght 257.9; Ex 7 hrs; Music 18.5
Commitment is going fine, but lapses are occuring too frequently. This then calls for working overly hard on good days. It's the first day of summer and I'm going to kick up the exercise to two session on 5 days, one session the other 2 days - total of 12 seesions per week. "
"Did about an hour of singing practice and some piano practicing at night, i think thats the time I will always do piano in my headphones and record whatver I play, which will kind of be like a splurge aswel but with my keyboard, I did a splurge aswel for about 30 min, so I am happy with the commitment I made today to do basically all except the guitar, which I absolutely need to plug in because I got it fixed to incorporate it songs. LISTENNING is also big on my list of actions because I can learn alot from listening to others music and what they've done in their songs."
"Got yet another one done yesterday. This was all focused on the second section of a video giving advice to newcomer students on choosing their major. The paragraph was about getting a better understanding of what you actually like as opposed to what you like just because you're good at it. I also wrote a bit of the next paragraph as well about being flexible in your overall career plan."
"A very tired me wrote my little paragraph and then passed out for the night. I was able to watch a video from a YouTuber I like and tweak the script to match their presentation of info."
"Was able to write even more paragraphs towards the next video and it's really coming along! In about a day or so, it will probably be done! I also realized I have to change the format of the script to make it more appealing for viewers, so on my off time I'll be watching other YouTubers who make advice based content ☺️"
"Today I have practiced 15 mins of snare pad drills, and 5 mins of single stroke roll drills to practice for the fill in "Achillies Last Stand"

No link to Achillies warm ups, just individual practice."
"Yesterday had the MMYL monday mission all about Automatic Music Machine, which helps you work on various songs at the same time, without overlistening to stuff. Im commiting to 3 days per week doing a turbo track attack to get more of my songs in draft mode. Had my vocal practice but very softly feeling like resting alot is still necessary."
"I've gotten through the first 4 emails on time. The 5th email has taken MUCH longer than anticipated, than the challenge recommended budgeting for. This isn't for lack of trying. But I'm still ahead of my own schedule, which feels good. "
"Did a few more paragraphs of the advice script for choosing your major! It's really coming together. Today I worked on weaving a bit of my story into the advice."
"I didnt do as much as I would like to be doing, like working all day on music, but I did enough, which is like the minimum, did my singing practice and went thru a couple songs, got more sounds on splice aswel, so basically dabbled in it a little. I think the more I rest now though the better I will be later on and more energy I will have, had a strange sleep again and meditated in the morning which allowed me to get a little more rest in the later morning... I think I need a better schedule where I say Im working on this specific thing and make myself do that task. like when I had the TTA workshop I was working on it for like 3 hrs and was happy with the result so doing that several times a week would be ideal for me to get better at arranging and rough draft of an idea/song. aswel as my daily practices, but everthing in balance and listening to my body for the rest and time out it needs."
"I was actually able to start this goal earlier than intended and began writing a completely new script! All about how to choose your major as a new student coming in."
"LOL! Jordanne is already $60 richer! I performed yesterday but that does not count as practice technically... but it was my dream gig so that was nice! <3 Today, I have practiced for at least 2 hours. Not so much pad-work. Mostly songs for the Nip and Tuck performance next Sunday. "
"even though Ive been having a hard time sleeping well, I managed to get my singing practice and a splurge in yesterday, so with that I am proud, letting go of things that are consuming my attention and energy, letting go."
"i wrote a thing but i havent yet made that full commitment because I am still hanging on to the past and distractions form men that i think with fill my heart with love, but Love is inside me and what I want to create."
"Still want one, but my wrist is really irritated from my Fitbit. I’d hate to buy something super expensive that I might just end up being allergic to."
"week 1: Memories from cats. Youtube it and listen first. Remember to drink water, and do vocal warm ups first.
Memories has lots of different tone qualities in it. "
"I got the next chapter read, but it was rather short, so I’ll go ahead and get started on the next one. It finally feels like I’m getting ahead of my goals. I think I’ll try to keep this up. It’s easier to get things done when I’m a bit ahead of the curve. "
"I will log the date, start time, practice material, and end time of my practice sessions every day!
Today: 15 mins of practice pad work, 5 mins foot technique drills
Start Time: 9:08 pm
End Time: 9:28 pm
