Refining Plans and Launching the Execution Column
Today, I finalized the second version of my business plan and launched a new “Execution” column on my blog. I’m using the 12 Week Year framework to pursue my goals with focus and momentum.
I’ve recently split my daily routine into two parts. Before 6 PM, I concentrate on practicing the guitar and keeping up with my studies. From 7 PM to 9 PM, I work out, and from 10 PM to midnight, I push forward with my entrepreneurial projects.
For guitar practice, I’m honing my solo and improvisation skills. My goal is to establish a solid framework for playing simple major and minor scales fluently. I’ve been drilling the 2-5-1 progression, repeatedly practicing licks from my lessons to internalize and emulate them.
Today was productive overall, though I lost some time this morning. I’m still adjusting to balancing these two distinct parts of my life.
Today I reflected a bit, and realized I’ve been in the United States for almost a year now. What exactly have I accomplished… My guitar skills don’t seem to have improved that much, which makes me feel a bit guilty… But thinking carefully…
July: Berklee – entered a new environment, gained new perspectives… August: Went on a very memorable trip, explored America, took care of an entire tour group… September: Join MI. Hosting an Airbnb and began a romantic relationship… Over the next three months, I started playing different pieces. Practiced Sixths, Thirds… and so on. Further improved my sight-reading ability. January to March: Wrote songs, practiced Triads. Hosted four parties… Learned n8n… I guess I have achieved some things after all.
今天把上面那個商業計劃第二版完善。並且在 Blog 上面開了 Execution 專欄。用 12 week year 的方式去Execute 我的目標。
近期的生活也分割成兩個部分。晚上六點之前專注在練琴、課業的進度。7pm~9pm 運動，10pm~12pm 則衝刺自己的創業項目。
練琴的方面，最近要把 Solo/improv 這塊補齊。至少一些簡單的大調小調要有一個框架可以好好的彈奏。用 251 的方式不斷反覆重複上課練習的 Lick. 嘗試內化、模仿。
今天總體狀況挺認真。早上有點浪費掉。但要花一點時間習慣現在兩個 Part 的生活。
今天回想了一下，來美國也快要一年的時間。到底做了什麼⋯⋯ 吉他好像沒有進步特別多，覺得有點內疚⋯⋯ 但其實仔細思考⋯⋯
7月 Berklee 進到新的環境、新的視野⋯⋯ 8 月去了一趟很難忘的旅行，探索了美國，照顧了一整個旅行團⋯⋯ 9月進入MI, Host Airbnb. 並且開始談戀愛⋯⋯ 接下來三個月， 開始彈奏不同的曲子。練習 Sixth, Third.. 等等。把 Reading 的能力再往上提升。12 月寫歌，練 Triads. 辦了四場 Party.. 學了 n8n… 好像也是有一些成果。
