The musicians I meet – really, most people I meet – fall into two categories: Too Busy and Not Busy Enough. I always say that I’m too busy, but given the choice, that’s the one I’d pick.
The problem is Too Busy is a state that comes with no recovery time, no breathing space.
Not Busy Enough isn’t a solution, because that means not enough work, not enough income to take care of your responsibilities. The question is, can we find a way to the Goldilocks Zone? Not Too Busy and not Not Busy Enough.
Given the choice, what do you pick? Are you even able to make the choice for yourself?
