Deadlines aren't fun. But they get us moving.
Otherwise, we end up waiting for perfect.
How many of us have had exciting projects that were put off again and again because we were waiting for the conditions to be just right?

Set a deadline. Plan the recital performance. Schedule the music examination. Set out on the new hobby. Start the new business. Build the next invention that changes the world.
Tell a friend. Make it public so you can't secretly put it off.
Don't wait until the project is finished to set the announcement date. Set the announcement date so you finish the project.

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.
