We all have the same amount of time during the day and many of us (myself included) leave an insane amount on the table every single day.  "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Once I internalized this teaching I realized that I had to implement it immediately. It's truly amazing how much more we can get out of the day by simply determining what we're spending time on, and then aggressively removing anything and everything that does not bring value to our lives. 

If you're struggling to find time to practice your instrument, or just need some extra time in your life, take the time to create your own not-to-do list.
