Hello ,
 
In 1971, renowned social scientist Herbert Simon observed: “What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”. 
 
When our attention is impoverished, it inevitably leads to poor results.
 
Consider this: How many channels of information do you have only about music? How many YouTube videos have you consumed on the subject?
 
Whether it’s JVL or another website, my advice is to be mindful and focus on ideally one or two channels that truly resonate with you. Consuming content from more than three sources might lead to spending more time absorbing information than actually putting it into practice. Remember, time is your most valuable commodity, so invest it wisely.
 
When you learn something new, take immediate action and implement it in your practice routine. Knowledge without action is merely potential wasted.
 

Conduct a self-audit: What kind of content do you find yourself consuming regularly? Is it bringing tangible results to your musical journey? Ask yourself if you’re genuinely taking action or simply amassing knowledge without putting it to use.

To aid you in organizing your practice sessions effectively, here are some practice planner templates. These tools will help you structure your practice time efficiently and make the most out of your efforts.

Your growth as a musician depends not only on what you know but how you apply that knowledge in your daily practice. So, let’s engage in meaningful discussions and share your thoughts and questions in the comments section!

Remember, it’s not just about what you learn, but how you make it a part of your musical journey that truly counts.

    Salut Alex.
    Ce qui manque trop souvent c’est l’organisation du travail musical. Ton plan m’apparaît bien conçu mais surtout pour des musiciens qui ont du temps pour s’organiser de la sorte. Ça doit être super efficace , en tout cas plus que ma pratique actuelle!!!
