Have you been using any of these tools or strategies in your own life? What has been the most effective for you? Let me know in the comments or as a reply to this comment.
Definitely haven't been. I make music for therapeutic reasons but lately I feel the need to share my creation with others. Thank you for the wonderful content as always. It is highly appreciated.
For example every morning I tell myself to study like for 2hrs afterwards I just roam around the Internet and see what’s interesting, Ik Ik thats not good haha but when weekends come, I fully make beats. The other week I make cover arts for the beats to be published. And so on and so forth but its hard sometimes
I just discovered Notion about 2 months ago. I love. All my notes are now in there. I love not having to try to remember things in my brain, because my brain sucks at remembering.
Man this is almost identical to how I organize myself! I would also add leaving your phone outside of your room every night. And, in the morning, don't look at your phone or computer until after you've already finished your morning routine (breakfast, meditation, organizing your day, etc). We all need to prioritize ourselves before anything else. If you're opening social media and emails before doing that you'll be following other people schedules and also allowing negative thoughts enter your mind before finding your focus for the day.

That was the quickest and most aggressive “what’sgoinon...” I’ve seen😭
bruv i started to organize my day exactly like you desribe in this vid like two weeks ago and im booming honestly! The fact that im somehow able to predict your advice is giving me the proof that im going the right way!🤷♂️ But i wouldnt be sure without your videos man! Thank u 🥵❤️
I have started to schedule my days, and while it's been an adjustment, it has been helpful in making me more productive with creating new music, recording vocals and creating content
i swear adam, i was thinking about how i could manage my time today, thank you so much for this video, i hope you continue making awesome content in the future man 🙏
"your schedule is not a prison." ~ Jordan Peterson. If y'all haven't watched any of his videos, I highly recommend you do, he's a genius. Im currently reading his book the 12 rules for life. Definitely life altering. Remember to build your day how you believe your perfect day would go. But also plan for days where you feel the least productive. Meaning dont make your schedule for the days when you feel on top of your game, make your schedule for when you don't. Google calendar is very helpful, but for ADD or ADHD it can be overwhelming sometimes. I started choosing 3 things a day to accomplish, just general statements not anything specific. Once you start checking off a list you become more and more likely to get things done, in my opinion. Great video!!!
Adam is right...if you know anything about law of attraction and all that stuff then you know there is like 4 ways u make these things happen: speak it, see it/visualize it in your mind, writing it down is a big one that people dont mention enough and then YOU DO IT
Notion is extremely dope, you can do so many different things with it and have them all connected with each other (if you want). I use it for everything.
I am soo thankful Ivy for making this video, you sometimes become a lifesaver 😹😹🙏🏽🙏🏽 I will try and do what you teach us to do. Myself I have university studies and like searching time and trying to schedule yourself is challenging sometimes. I try to be consistent with youtube it kinda gets sooo hard. It said that if you want to get more views and see an effect is to upload daily but haha thats challenging, I decided to say that I will be posting every week not everyday but every week you will see at least new videos.
Love this video. Having a physical book on top of your digital stuff is huge. I stumbled onto Timeboxing in 15 min intervals several months ago, but have adjusted to a little less intense breakdowns for the morning or very repetitive times and now it's no work to put together in the AM as I think about my day. Notion was a game charger for me. I've used timers before, but never heard of that technique, I ordered something similar to what you recoded ,but some cool thing where depending which way I set it down, sets the timer different and starts it. Great video love it
Love this. I lived by a physical planner or writing tasks on paper for many years. Its like its reinforced. Ability to take time back on your side is bonus. Great post.
how did you read in my mind? I literally was like this morning "hmmm...I need a podcast or something about organization...BUT FOR ARTISTS"...here you are. Amazing as always. Watching, thank you
I'm so glad you mentioned scheduling TIME OFF!!! As a Police/Fire/EMS Dispatcher who worked over 200 hours of overtime this year _with_ a family at home _and_ a band on the side, 2020 has left me so exhausted that my daughter has, several times, told me, "GO TO BED!!!" The great thing about being a songwriter is that much of it can be worked out in my head...driving to work, taking a shower, cooking dinner, whatever...so by the time I actually sit down to _work_ on music, most of the heavy lifting is already done. As such while I haven't had the time or energy to _market_ my music very much in 2020, I _have_ managed to write a couple of new songs, finish a couple of others, _and_ record (and produce) my band's first album! Now, it's nap time!
This was an affirmation of the recent moves I made to organize my production and ease my anxiety about music-making. Thanks again for the solid advice! And a video on Notion would be great! I just got it a few days ago and would love to know the possibilities with it 👊🏽👊🏽
I schedule time every day like a madman and use ClickUp for project management currently. I ran into burnout recently after trying different productivity systems and still feeling overwhlemed. I had my task list/project manager synched to my calendar app, and was having trouble trying to decide which tasks to prioritize in my software, and I ran into the same problem when using the productivity planner. I found myself trying to do too much, and my calendar began to look insanely cluttered. But I recently read "The One Thing" by Gary Keller and "Essentialism" by Greg McKeown, and those two books helped me out a lot. As a result, I decided to take my prioritization to an extreme. I block out all my personal time and time off (workouts, meditations, time with my wife, meals, etc.) first, then block an hour or more each day or whatever is left for "studio time", where each day I have a singular focus and don't do anything else until it's done. Similar philosophy to the productivity planner, but I assign that same philosophy to the long-term too. I set one singular goal for the day, the week, the month, the year, the next 5 years, and so on. They all feed into each other. As someone who is prone to overthinking a lot, narrowing my focus to an extreme brought me a ton of clarity lately, and I'm not feeling guilty for missing out on certain opportunities or deferring tasks that are not as important as the #1 thing.
I’ve done some of these and the ones I did use worked so well. This gives me a fire to really get things even more organized so I can crush it even more. Thanks Adam!!
We lost our Cooper and his sister both this year 🥺 Your dog is adorable. I have an issue where I will be incredibly productive one week and struggle the next. I've been waiting a long time to see a video like this from you, thanks so much Adam!
Yes please for the notion in depth video. Just discovered your channel recently, thank you for clearing out many doubts I have as a creative who’s totally unfamiliar with how to do the things you teach and enabling me to better myself.
I would love learning how to "master" notion, specially when having multiple people working in the same project. Thanks for the video. By the way, you have very cute dogs, I love them 😍😍
I use Hootsuite as an all-in-one social media app. Free. Super effective. I can post on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn at the same time and schedule when you want - the app has the option to schedule for you! I still have to manually post on other apps like the community tab on RUclips but that's fine
Hi! Just joined the course the other day and can also highly recommend the productivity planner. I've been using Google Calendar which has worked well for me the last couple years. The reminders get pushed to the next day so they don't get lost like they would in a notes app. I can't imagine not structuring my days with some sort of planner now. Anyway, great advice!
I couldn't get the productivity planner you recommended, it was out of stock everywhere. I got the Brandon Burchard High Performance Planner instead, I highly recommend it too, I've never been so productive in my entire life!
I would love a video on how to use Notion, after giving this website a look, this is a very valuable resource to have! However, their are so many options it'd be nice to see how you guys structure it. Thanks!
Making presets for everything from video filters to instagram descriptions and tweaking them slightly saves so much time. Every time you get bored or need a break, take a break that isn't on a screen
I use most of the tips except for the project management tool. An amazing free tool that I recommend is trello. It is a to do app and I use it as way to organise all the music I have been working on. That way i can visually see what needs to be recorded, mixed etc 😀
Notion is awesome, I’d also suggest things 3 as a to do list manger and a must read in the productivity topic is “getting things done”, it explain a very useful method for organizing the different projects, to do lists, etc. we have to do.
I’m literally working on this now I came so close to quitting music but at the end of the day never get discouraged because you have limited time there’s ways to optimize that time and make it useful
I'm using Notion for a couple weeks now, but I feel like I don't use it to it's full potentional. Would like to see a indept video about this! Great video too!
thanks alot sir for all your help and tips... i am working on some music but i am not sure if it will ever do well in the future.... aka i self doubt my music and i overthink alot....i dont know how to avoid that.... anyway thanks alot sir.....
Sir , I am planning to start my musical career like by August 2021.. Cuz my school is gonna get over and I'll be free.. Ig I got my mentor and guide for my music career. Tqsm😊 I will start applying your tools soon enough...cuz rn I'm not on any social media....and I quite dont know where and how to start ...... so Thank you soo much💕 I really appreciate your work😊😁 - Nithya
Hi, I happened to see your message here left 6 months ago, now it's already the end of August 2021, hope you have already started your musical career. Hope you are doing well!
@@mymelodyyy wonderful! Just keep singing and bring goodness to people, over the time it becomes a career. I enjoy the idea of a career of giving people goodness via music! Remember to give before you get rewarded! Thats my understanding! Have a good journey of music!
Before I go sleep I write in the notebook what I want to do next. I dont always do all things I have written to do in my notebook but I think Im more productive than if I wasnt writing it down. btw my opinioin on pandora method is that: it shouldnt be used it for creative process like a creating music but it should be rather use for time off (e.g. watching RUclips).
Thank you so much Adam. I love your videos, and your channel. Everything you cover is always so helpful. I really appreciate your message Much love. I gave like #76!

Yeah I have been using one of the tools but not very accurately. Those were back in the days when I was in High Skool
For example every morning I tell myself to study like for 2hrs afterwards I just roam around the Internet and see what’s interesting, Ik Ik thats not good haha but when weekends come, I fully make beats. The other week I make cover arts for the beats to be published. And so on and so forth but its hard sometimes

I been using the timer idea for a little while for Instagram promo

Everytime I think this 😂 Signature Adam moves 🤙
Lol I feel like Adam was in the auction game before music found him.
Almost felt that one in my soul! 🤣🤣
bruv i started to organize my day exactly like you desribe in this vid like two weeks ago and im booming honestly! The fact that im somehow able to predict your advice is giving me the proof that im going the right way!🤷♂️ But i wouldnt be sure without your videos man! Thank u 🥵❤️
this could not have come at a better... 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮
*glasses on
YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAA
My FBI agent knew I needed this
As a small business owner who makes beats on the side, this is precisely what I needed. Good stuff Adam 👍🏻
Been using the Pomodoro for years, ever since Thomas frank introduced me to it. This is some true stuff !!
Somehow, I always come back to pen and paper. Anyone else?
I have started to schedule my days, and while it's been an adjustment, it has been helpful in making me more productive with creating new music, recording vocals and creating content
I’m so used to finding your videos way after you posted, this was two hours ago. Litty
i swear adam, i was thinking about how i could manage my time today, thank you so much for this video, i hope you continue making awesome content in the future man 🙏
I will!

Adams the kind of guy who has a positive attitude about every single thing.
Hell yeah, man! Push out that Notion video. I'd Love to understand on a deeper level to up my project management skillz 💯

Thanks for this video! Wakes me up that I must stop to been behind my screen from morning to evening without have me-time! Greetz from Belgium
Hey Adam, I’m one of your students and I use google calendar and google tasks. It’s easy to use, looks nice and has all the needed tools!
Love this. I lived by a physical planner or writing tasks on paper for many years. Its like its reinforced. Ability to take time back on your side is bonus. Great post.

The puppy alone was inspirational. Thanks Adam
I've been trying to find a new way to structure my day. Couldn't have come at a better time! I'm stoked to use the productivity planner
Thank God Adam made this. Really needed it ❤️
This video showed up on my radar today and everything you said was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!!
We lost our Cooper and his sister both this year 🥺
Your dog is adorable.
I have an issue where I will be incredibly productive one week and struggle the next.
I've been waiting a long time to see a video like this from you, thanks so much Adam!
I WILL BE implementing! So grateful this video popped up in my notifications! So timely!
WE LOVE COOPER🥺🥺
Yes please for the notion in depth video. Just discovered your channel recently, thank you for clearing out many doubts I have as a creative who’s totally unfamiliar with how to do the things you teach and enabling me to better myself.

Adam you are Lord of the sauce! I appreciate you!
Been swearing by the Productivity Planner since I saw it in the SMM, it's amazing! Great vid as always Adam
Man!!! I needed to see this!!! Appreciate you for this!!!
Man Adam! We are legit doing the exact same productivity techniques haha like literally identical 🦾🦾🦾
I use Hootsuite as an all-in-one social media app. Free. Super effective. I can post on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn at the same time and schedule when you want - the app has the option to schedule for you!

Just bought the productivity book, can’t wait to get to work! Thanks for the gems Adam!

You were talking to me directly, meant for me personally, forget it was and is viewed by millions
Bro this is timely for me. Great vid
Glad I could help
Great video! I needed this a lot!
Glad you liked it!!
I've been doing this but burning out and not taking time for myself. But now I'll take time Adam. Thank you so much
I would love a video on how to use Notion, after giving this website a look, this is a very valuable resource to have! However, their are so many options it'd be nice to see how you guys structure it. Thanks!
I could’ve sworn Jeremy Renner was an actor... guess he’s a youtuber now
😂
Thanks for your content and advice
I'm also productivity now
Time management is most important people don’t realize that got a few good gems 💎 from this video
I was just looking for a productivity video and this one just popped and was posted a few hours ago. It was meant to be!! Thanks Adam !!!
Making presets for everything from video filters to instagram descriptions and tweaking them slightly saves so much time. Every time you get bored or need a break, take a break that isn't on a screen
Time management is so important. I plan a lot and it works well for me!
Liking & Commenting first since we know it’s gonna be helpful 🙏🏼
3:47 that was the most intelligent use of a pesky interruption, if I've ever seen one.
Adam: sets timer
FB Messenger ad immediately interrupts: DING! 😂
Thanks Adam, another awesome video. I love Coper and Daisy too, they look so sweet.
I use most of the tips except for the project management tool. An amazing free tool that I recommend is trello. It is a to do app and I use it as way to organise all the music I have been working on. That way i can visually see what needs to be recorded, mixed etc 😀
