Be A Musician

Be a musician. Be an instrumentalist. Be like a guitarist who can take his pedals and guitar around on his back, and play his tunes from memory every time. Every performance he has to plug everything in. Every time he has to tune his instrument. Every time he has to play every note, in the right order, with the right timing, with the right expression, entirely from memory. Then think about how to note things down so that reciting something from your written notes is as natural as reading a book aloud.

Now this doesn't come easily. It takes patience, determination, diligence, and lots of practice and repetition.

Then there is the music production equivalent of Speed Running.
