If you want to make a career out of your music, you should know by now that as an independent musician, making music is just one part of it.\u00a0You have to juggle it with a lot of things from marketing, booking, designing merch, attending meetings, accounting and a lot of other tasks not directly related to music. As an artist who’s just starting out, all of these things could be overwhelming especially if you have a day job. \u00a0We hear a lot of musicians complain “But I just want to make music!”and I can totally understand this feeling of exhaustion not just by musicians, but for any artist who aims to have a real career. If you’re too busy with all other things and you simply have no time and energy to do the things you need to do in your music career, don’t go crazy just yet. Here are some of the ways you can manage your time if you’re an extremely busy musician:<\/p>\n
LISTS WILL SAVE YOUR DAY<\/strong> USE UPWORK<\/strong>
\nEvery productive person here on Earth makes lists. Get a good notebook and find the nicest list app that you can find. Every night, write the things you need to do for the next day and once you wake up, read your list. Also make lists for your monthly tasks and important events. Making lists will not only ensure that you are reminded of the things that you need to do, it also psychs us into thinking that we are actually organized beings, therefore it makes us feel goal-oriented and we become it.<\/p>\n
\nLet a Virtual Assistant handle your web presence so you don’t have to handle all your blog posts, twitter updates, and e-mails\u00a0all the time. Sure, it’s very important that you personally answer e-mails and comments. However, there are many online duties that you can let an assistant do for you like finding memes to share or replying to basic inquiries.<\/p>\n
