I'm surprised you have a problem with productivity. I only see you posting tons of music and videos.
The problem with my routine before was that it wasn't fun or I couldn't see results. Now I've made it fun and I can see results pretty quickly. Learning stuff is a bit easier than finishing creations for me though because it's measurable.
But just the act of picking up a guitar ever day is helping me finish some old unfinished songs!
Yeah I don’t really see it as a problem anymore. I can get a bit too absorbed when I’m in the creative zone, if I’m really excited about a project I tend to ignore everything else. Allowing myself downtime in between provides a bit of balance.
Also usually it’s not really downtime, it’s more like input vs. output. The tides of creativity if you will ;)
