What was your overall goal for this week? To really play smoothly and clearly, and to do so in the least amount of time. I also wanted to control my happiness: Even if I wanted to play faster, or another part again, I wanted to take a second and step back and do it another time, because I know my brain works best on deprivation. I did that with a song I’m writing and it really helped.

I love this system. My songwriting has really improved and I’m making so much more progress.
