Time in the Car

Sure, it feels like we're strapped for time every day of the week.

So, what should you do? Look in the nooks and crannies.

Like searching for spare change between the cushions of the couch. 

When you take notice, there are pockets of time in your day waiting to be used. The most obvious is the time in the car. Or, the time you take for your commute to work.

Sure, you could zone out, think about the latest gossip, or lose yourself in Spotify.

But, you can also use that time to think about ideas. Make plans. Solve problems.

Sometimes, silence (or noise-cancelling headphones) can let your thoughts blossom with the greatest ideas of all.

Try it next time you're in the car. Problem solve, invent, plan, and dream.

I bet you'll be surprised.

Never miss a blog post!

For parents, students, and anyone else who believes that music can and should be a meaningful part of everyone's life.

When 2 + 2 = 10

When it comes to practicing, most people don’t get how time works. People think the amount of practice time is most important. Rather than the frequency. Logic tells us this: Practicing 5 minutes for six days would be the same as practicing 30 minutes for one day. It adds up to the same total minutes, so the benefits are the same.
