Episode show notes:

“I don’t have enough time.”

If you’ve ever said this, or even just thought it, when it comes to working on your music, this episode is for you.

We hear it all the time from self-recording artists who genuinely love making music but struggle to find the hours for it. Between work, family, and everything else life throws at you, it can feel impossible to stay consistent. But here’s the truth: everyone has the same 24 hours. It’s not really about time. It’s about focus, priorities, energy, and systems.

In this episode, we unpack why some people seem to get so much done, while others are stuck working on the same song for months. You’ll learn how to find time (and even make time) for your music, manage your energy instead of your hours, and set up structures that actually make you more creative - not less.


We’ll talk about:

  • Energy management vs. time management (and why this matters way more than you think)
  • Having time vs. finding time vs making time
  • Prioritizing the right things - both in the big picture and day-to-day
  • How structure and systems can unlock your creativity instead of killing it
  • Building consistency through simple habits and routines
  • The connection between focus, confidence, and momentum
  • What your daily actions are really telling you about your priorities
  • Plus, analogies from fitness, real stories from artists I’ve coached, and practical steps you can take right after this episode


By the end, you’ll have a new perspective on time, discipline, and what it actually takes to move your music forward - even when life is busy.

Listen now and start showing up for your music. Consistently, confidently, and without the guilt.
