What Do I Want?<\/strong> The Dream<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nI want to be a versatile EDM producer who can adapt to any creative situation, create unique remixes, and be a notorious performer.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\nI should think about what I want to achieve with my life. What will make me happy? But, it’s okay if I haven’t figured it out yet. I shouldn’t be afraid to sit down in a quiet place for an hour or a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Am I Going to Get There?<\/strong> Goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nGoal<\/strong>: I want to get better at my sound design.
Goal<\/strong>: I want to write better introductions.
Goal<\/strong>: I want to make better mixing downs.
Goal<\/strong>: I want to DJ with smoother transitions.
Notice I’ve said “want to<\/strong>” rather than “need to<\/strong>“. How I frame my road map is very important. I should avoid creating any pressure on myself that comes through a “need”. If I frame my road map in “should” terms, I claim responsibility for my actions and desires whilst avoiding a meteor of guilt if I don’t achieve them when I want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/mixxed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/music-concert-audience-equipment-artist-musician-868947-pxhere.com_-1-1024x683.jpg\")

It’s vital that I don’t overload myself. Rather than tackle all four of those goals at once, I will get a lot further with all of them if I do one or two at a time.
Goal<\/strong>: I want to get better at my sound design.
I’m going to dedicate one hour of every other day to watching YouTube channels like Letsynthesize<\/a> because that channel is full of knowledge in this specific area.
I will dedicate a second hour of those same days putting what I learn from Letsynthesize videos into practice.<\/em>
Goal<\/strong>: I want to write better introductions.
I’m going to spend a maximum of two hours each following day to focus on my transition EQ’ing, and double down on my track selection.<\/em>
…Fast Forward by One Month<\/span><\/strong>…
Now that I have achieved smoother transitions and have my first DJ booking, and I’m also creating interesting lead sounds for my own music, I am ready to focus on my next two goals.
I can’t write better mixdowns if I have no music to mix down, so I will focus on writing interesting intros but also mix them down as I go. I can combine both of my goals, which is always a big help, and feel achieved even faster!<\/p>\n\n\n\nReassess Goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
