   Do you have a daily schedule that you go by or do you just go with the flow? How do you prioritize different projects to ensure that they are completed in a timely manner?

   As a music business entrepreneur/producer/songwriter, it is important that I have a daily schedule so that I can be as productive as possible. Because I engage in so many projects, I have to divide my time between handling the business of music, songwriting, music production, meetings, travel, networking , research and marketing.
   To prioritize, I may designate multiple tasks to a certain day of the week (for example: on Monday's I may spend the day working exclusively on marketing and social media activities, Tuesday's the day may be divided between returning calls, consulting, emailing, sending out letters, getting permission slips, etc.) You get the idea... Friday's are usually a day to plan for the next week.I try to reserve studio time for weekends when I am actually getting ready to record vocals, music etc.
   The most important thing is to always plan your day and never allow anyone to waste your time...
