Any questions? Comments? Thoughts? Send me a text!

Unlock the full potential of your music career with my essential guide to task prioritization, designed exclusively for indie artists like you. I'm Mike The Schwartz, and I've distilled the art of managing your creative workload into practical, powerful strategies that will lead you to your dreams faster than you can Shazam that early 00's one-hit wonder. In this episode, we're peeling back the layers of goal-setting, showing you how to craft rock-solid aims that resonate with your vision.
Learn how to prioritize the right way...
And, because I know the independent path is often a juggling act, I'll introduce you to the Eisenhower Matrix, your new best friend for sorting the urgent and the important, and the game-changing technique of time blocking to get you one step closer... just like Linkin Park.
Language matters...
Wave goodbye to the "Ten-ply" language that's been softening your resolve; I challenge you to join me in the Soft Talk Challenge and rewire your vocab and your life. By shedding phrases like 'maybe' and 'think', you'll articulate your desires with the clarity of a high note in a silent auditorium. We'll also talk about why swapping 'need' for 'require' or 'desire' can dramatically decrease stress, bringing a sense of calm and clarity to your busy life. So, tune in, yo... and let's amplify your productivity, turning your musical passion into a finely-tuned machine!
