Day 45 - Relentlessly pursuing proper muting and finger placement to get the cleanest playing possible. I'm convinced that what I'm after is on the other side of this mountain.

Day 44 - Feeling like I hit a speed plateau, so I'm jumping from 180 to 200 BPM trying to hit TIGHT triplets and conserve string strikes!

Day 39 - Still focused on hygiene this week with my playing. This positioning between 1 and 2 on Phrygian doesn't sound as tight so I need to keep working it until I'm able to truly hit this crispily

Hey Brian! The template has a boxes for the date, most important task and then a column that I write the time in for the day's working hours (say, 9-5 for example) in half hour chunks and then I block off time for tasks in the column next to it.

I should probably consider releasing this!

So I made a grocery list app in Nuxt and if you would like to give it a try, please do: basketbuddyapp.netlify.app

I don't have OAuth right now, if people prefer it, I will add it. I do not do anything with emails and passwords, but I get people want to be secure online.

I typically designate the most important thing of the day and ensure that I time block that thing. Then, I will go through my todo list and add a few of them to a given day. I rarely try to do more, than say, 3 to-do items in a day. I never make it when I do lol

Today I completed 25 consecutive (work) days of planning the night before and I swear by this now. I have been so organized and it's led to a significant productivity boost!!

I updated my planning template to v0.2 today because I noticed a few small tweaks I could make based on consistent use.

Made my daily yogurt parfait better with one weird trick...

Add the hemp seeds as the bottom layer THEN add the yogurt THEN add the granola!

Same weird taste, but less unenjoyable!

Day 32 - Working on 4 strokes per string which I think is considered tremolo style playing. Towards the end, I was trying to minimize wrist movement to see if I can be as tight as possible.

Day 30 - I like to wrap the week practicing combining things and working on weak spots. Noticed my legato timing is a little weaker than I'd like, so we run it over and over again.
