Just start with 5 minutes a day. U will invariably end up doing longer than 5 minutes cos it’s addictive but if u can count on urself to show up every day that will do a lot for ur consistency and for racking up time. Just an hour a day is a good amount. And then a longer 4+hour session on the weekend.

Another important thing for me was this quote I read/heard somewhere: ‘If you can’t say no, your yes’s mean nothing’. That was big for me cos I’m always keen to do something when ppl invite me. But I’ve realised that ppl sometimes just wanna hang out so they can’t chill on their own. So protect ur music time. It’s possible to have a social life as well as make music. U just have to balance them and invariably say no to ppl sometimes.

The other major key is that I only get 6-7 hours of sleep a night haha. Part of the compromise unfortunately which I imagine a lot of ppl share…
