What is one of the most important things for a composer?

That’s right, our creativity. Creativity is the basis for any form of content production, be it music composition or writing. A creative mind can take anything and make it into something valuable and interesting. An original creator can take a mundane or boring topic and turn it into something that sparks people’s interest. Creativity is what separates a good composer from an average one. A composer must be able to create content that people enjoy reading, while still being informative or persuasive.

We live in a world of constant distractions, be it our friends on social media or the people around us. We face a barrage of messages on a daily basis, and it can sometimes feel impossible to focus and remain productive.

The key to being productive is in learning how to tune out these distractions and focus on the task at hand. It’s important that as we work, we give our attention completely to what we’re doing without getting distracted by other messages or thoughts. A good way to do this is by setting time limits for ourselves and then allowing ourselves short breaks when they’re up.

It’s not just about the tools you use, but the activities you do.

If you want to be productive, break your day into blocks of time that are dedicated to certain tasks. For example:

– Block 1: 8am-11am – Compose a piece of music.

– Block 2: 11am-12pm – Check emails and reply to all messages.

– Block 3: 12pm-1pm – Lunch break and social media scrolling.

– Block 4: 1pm-2 pm – Read articles from a variety of sources on the internet for inspiration

– Block 5: 2pm-6 pm – Create something.

– Block 6: 6pm-8 pm – Dinner break and social media scrolling.

Remember to keep hydrated, focused and well-rested. Do not go to bed late and avoid screens up to 2 hours before going to bed. Avoid sleeping in and keep your mind focused on your goal.
