    • Instead of writing “Write year plan” on your to-do list, break it into chunks for different days, like “Fill in concepts” for Monday, “Fill in goals” for Tuesday, “Fill in songs” for August-December on Wednesday, etc. This will help you break the huge task into smaller, manageable tasks and make you feel more accomplished!
